Believe No One: Discrediting the Client’s Confession

Listen to this episode from Another Not Guilty on Spotify. Defense attorney Ryan Sullivan out of Massachusetts casts doubt on his own client’s confession to win an acquittal on all charges in a gun possession case. The defendant — a young shoe salesman who had been shot six times — faced a mandatory 1.5-year minimum sentence under Massachusetts’s draconian gun laws that punished possessing a firearm for protection that was clearly needed. Ryan masterfully unravels the prosecution’s case and challenges the reliability of the confession itself, turning what seemed like a sure conviction into a complete not guilty. ⚖️ Bold lawyering. High stakes. Real wins.
