Delaware Attorney General Matt Denn is close to issuing guidelines that would suggest that police interrogations--from start to finish-- be recorded, The News Journal's Jessica Masulli Reyes reports. The reason for the move is because advocates say recording interrogations helps avoid false confessions.
Advocates also said the guidelines should be made mandatory by stating prosecutors wouldn't use statements obtained from non-recorded interrogations. Denn said law enforcement would be incentivized to follow the guidelines because "'adhering to this policy increases the odds we could successfully prosecute a case."'
