A New Crusade

He had just started representing Chris.

Carol introduced me to the videotapes, told me that I needed to watch the videotapes.

During the investigation, police had conducted nine interrogations and six polygraph tests with Chris.

Some of those interviews were almost three hours long.

This is what Chris ultimately confessed to investigators, that he and a friend went to Angie's apartment, that they were in her bedroom when Chris held Angie down, and says the other person raped and stabbed her, that Chris himself also cut Angie on her chest.

He implicated a friend in the crime, but his friend's DNA didn't match the crime scene evidence, and the friend denied ever being involved in Angie's rape and murder and would never be charged with those crimes.

At Chris's trial, he pleaded not guilty, and his attorney argued that he gave a false confession, but the jury didn't buy it.

That was 1998.

Now, over a decade later, Carol Dodge was questioning Chris's confession, all because of the interrogation tapes

tapesSo Carol is originally thinking Chris Tapp was there, but as Carol's watching these, it dawns on her that it's like, "This isn't right.

Chris Tapp is only saying things after they're telling him to say them." They ask him questions about, "Okay, well, where did she live?"

Did she, like, live around the corner?

And they say, "No, no, Chris.

Chris, it's not that house."

It was the middle of the block.

"It was the middle of the block," the detective says.

They also ask Chris where Angie was killed.

They ask him, "Which room was she killed in?" He goes, "This is where she was killed."

Where are these cigarette in, the bedroom or in the living room or in the kitchen?

In the living room.

Chris tells the polygrapher Angie was killed in the living room.

And they go, "No, Chris, it's over here.

This is the room.

You, you're mistaken."

They never took her down into the living room.
