backTragic Death of Child
Attorney Mike Coco defended a young military member accused of smothering his
child in her crib. Law-enforcement used an extremely experienced agent to interrogate
our client. After several hours of interrogation, the client signed what appeared
to be a confession that had been typed out by the law enforcement agent. The defense
was able to obtain the expert services of one of the top false confession experts
in the world. With his assistance, the defense was able to show that the client
had not written the “confession” and the confession itself was not true. The defense
also show that the agent had lied in a similar case with similar facts within a
year of trial. The client was acquitted of all charges specifications against him.
