    If investigators are allowed to lie during interrogations, I don't see why "Good cop, Bad cop" might be considered "too manipulative" by jurors, etc. Question: How do jurors typically view confessions that came afterr/ as a result of investigators having "lied" about a thing, as opposed to confessions that came via Good cop Bad cop?

    The detective who enters the room as the "bad cop" is Jim Smyth, the same amazing detective who interrogated and got a full confession from Colonel Russell Williams. Derek has a video that breaks down that interrogation and it shows how GOOD Jim is at interrogating suspects, he KNOWS what he's doing. Good cop bad cop doesn't always work. It is thought that the sudden change in emotions can throw a suspect off, and when the bad cop is gone, in that moment of relief, the suspect might say something he wouldn't have said prior. When watching the full interrogation, you see that Jim Smyth's bad cop DID have a big effect on Michael. He even expresses his fear that someone is going to come in "barking" at him again. I love ya, Derek, but I think Michaels reactions just shows they used this technique for a reason. I believe they attempted this technique believing knew it might be the best and ONLY way possible to get ANY information out of him at all. Also, the relentless talking by the first detective wasn't him intentionally using that old interrogation technique. He wasn't doing this believing he was wearing him down to the point of confession. The detective is doing this to prevent the suspect from having a chance to even think, let alone a chance to come up with any explanation or think about how to refute evidence presented. He is also doing it to keep his confidence low, he is seeking information but doesn't even entertain the suspect's denial. He is also presenting himself as the complete opposite of intimidating and direct- nonthreatening and endless rambling. Both of these detectives are with Ontario Provincial Police, which has a highly trained behavioral sciences unit, and their subdivision of forensic psychiatry is recognized as one of the best in the world.

    I actually see it as both of them doing specifically what they planned on doing together, prior to this interrogation taking place. How could they attempt the "god cop, bad cop" technique without knowing exactly how the other was going to act and what the other would say? BOTH of these detectives are with Ontario Provincial Police, which has a highly trained behavioral sciences unit, and their subdivision of forensic psychiatry is recognized as one of the best in the world. This was not an average interrogation, both detectives literally planned this approach. The first detective wasn't just a clueless, rambling idiot. The whole thing was planned and orchestrated, he is acting like this on purpose, as they both planned for him to act. I really think they specifically choose this technique believing it might be the only option to get any information out of Michael, after profiling and understanding what would affect Michael. The relentless talking by the first detective wasn't him intentionally using that old interrogation technique. He wasn't doing this believing he was wearing him down to the point of confession. The detective is doing this to prevent the suspect from having a chance to even think, let alone a chance to come up with any explanation or think about how to refute evidence presented. He is also doing it to keep his confidence low, he is seeking information but doesn't even entertain the suspect's denial. Jim Smyth and this defective PLANNED for the detective to act like this. He is deliberately presenting himself as the complete opposite of intimidating and direct- nonthreatening and endless rambling. Did this knowing exactly how Jim Smyth was going to be, aggressive and direct. The Mutt and Jeff technique (good cop, bad cop) doesn't always work. Michael WAS affected by Jim, expressing his fear that someone was going to come in "barking" at him again. His reaction shows why they choose to attempt it. Ultimately his crime was so horrendous that nothing could get him to talk.

    I think the good cop/bad cop technique can be effective if done right by experienced detectives but in this situation, they bombed that play. On the other hand, I find that a single detective interrogating a suspect is more efficient due to the fact that a single force is less overwhelming for the suspect. If a single detective starts off as the "good cop" obviously, then, the suspect will be more inclined to relinquish possible damning details. Always a thrill to watch your videos Derek!

The "good cop" is really really bad at interrogation, I think I saw Jim Smyth holding back because it looked like his hands wanted to reach out to the other cop to stop him from blabbing. Jim tried so hard and set up so many opportunities for Michael to answer but the other cop couldn't stop his blabbering every single time. It would have been better if Jim worked alone on this one like he did with Colonel Russell Williams.

    My impression of Mr. Schaik is that he's a narcissistic, somewhat over theatrical showman; the ringmaster in a world that revolves totally around him. He at first seems comical, like a comedian playing a pompous, over acting phony. He seems to be a Mulligan's Stew of multiple actors like Jim Carry, Chris Hanson and the Djin from the Wishmaster movies. In his grandiosity he might actually identify with the Wishmaster; a larger than life omnipotent demon dishing out cruel yet often deserved punishments as he grants selfish desires in unexpected, ironic twists. I hope he's just method acting. All the ear marks of psychopathy are present so for his own sake and that of society I truly hope that he IS simply acting.

    You're assuming from the start Derek that you are talking to the person who committed the crime. You should explain before the interrogation even started how they came to be arrested and any evidence or witnesses who saw them. All that should be in the hands of the police before they talk to the suspects. They are the building blocks that will be added to if the suspect is guilty. Many an innocent person can be tricked into making a confession to something he didn't do and the police become convinced they have the culprit because that's what they want to believe. It can easily happen to vulnerable people who are suddenly in shock and feel intimidated by their situation.
