The Appellate Division, Second Department, unanimously reversed Aveni's conviction, finding that police "not only repeatedly deceived the defendant" but implicitly threatened to charge him with murder unless he confessed

Looks like a pretty clear violation of the spirit of the Fifth and Sixth Amendments:

...nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself,

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall... be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation;

One would think that would not mean "falsely informed."

I bet 99% of the cops in this country have never seen a copy of the constitution. I’ll also bet a huge majority of big city cops can’t read above eighth grade level.
