I think they used immigration rules (probably entering Thailand with a warrant for your arrest is against their rules) so that they didn't have to actually extradite him. Thus he wasn't actually under arrest (techincally) until he landed in CA. Now, if there wasn't a federal agent sitting next to him, I'd be floored.

I'm beginning to think that the guy wanted a First Class airline ticket out of SE Asia.

On the news last night, they said that they treated him so well on the flight because they wanted him to talk. Interesting.

More information, especially if they doubt the "accuracy" of his confession.

Yeah, even if they thought he was telling the truth, you can't be convicted on confession alone. He needs to tell them things that "only the killer could know" or have his handwriting matched to the note, that sort of thing.
I do wonder if they're thinking that the parents could still have been involved and are wanting him to answer questions about that too.

I've heard of that kind of thing working.
I read once about a Nazi interagator who got a lot of information out of POW's by befriending them instead of brutal tactics.
After the war, some of the former prisoners he questioned sponsored him for US Citizenship.

Didn't he already give them "details only the killer could know"?
And I would think that the handwriting thing could be done using old documents.
I'm just pissed that he got a better flight then most normal people.

We also used a polygraph a few months back to see if our client was telling the truth regarding police brutality in his arrest. Our guy passed the polygraph with flying colors and D.A. was persuaded to drop 2 or 3 felony charges and a couple misdemeanors (the cops used those most likely to cover the fact that they beat our guy to a pulp) and reduced everything to a misdemeanor DUI for which our guy did something like 5 weekends in a private detention facility.
So they're not useful in court, but there are other applications for which they are useful.

That's really interesting, I never thought that they could be used like that.

Just a warning about the content in that CNN story. It's pretty graphic and quite disturbing.

So maybe I wasn't paying attention and missed this, but WHY HAS HE KEPT SAYING HE ACCIDENTLY KILLED HER?
Why would he say that if he knew his DNA wouldn't match? Did he plant someone else's DNA?
What's going on???
