Humphreys County, TN – Will Ferrell is a mentally challenged young man who was accused of touching a 7-year-old girl’s genitals while jumping on a trampoline. Instead of immediately identifying the young man as having special needs and waiting for the results of a DNA test, detectives at the Humphreys County Sheriff’s Department treated him as if he had an IQ of a normal young man and grilled him using less than ethical interrogation techniques. Ferrell’s IQ is 63.
Detectives immediately began to grill the man with special needs up until the point they were able to get a false confession.
The interrogation tactics were so over the top that Ferrell’s public defendant released the video of them in an unprecedented move. During the interrogation, for hours, Ferrell continues to tell the detective that he did not do it. But the detective kept coming back with deceptive language that tricked the man with the intelligence of a 8-year-old into saying he may have actually touched the girl’s vagina. The officer even went so far as to imply that the alleged molestation victim was coming on to Ferrell—a notion that completely confused the mentally challenged man.
As the video shows, Ferrell is tricked into saying he “may have touched” her but if he did it was completely unintentional. Nevertheless, he was thrown in jail with society’s worst.
But that’s where the nightmare only just begins. While awaiting trial, three inmates raped Ferrell orally, anally, and with hot sauce bottles several times per day for eight months. Questions remain as to whether or not the jailers knew the young man who weighs barely more than 100 pounds was being raped in the jailhouse. However, the frequency of the abuse cannot be understated.
Also, according to the public defender, Jake Lockerty, police were complicit in this man’s abuse.
“Jailers would call him names, call him Dumbo because his ears stick out a little bit,” Lockert said. “He’s got inmates sticking hot sauce bottles up his rectum. He just felt like he had nowhere to turn.”........https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/cops-coerce-man-with-iq-of-63-to-confess-to-crime-he-didnt-commit-gets-repeatedly-raped-in-jail/255554
