Popular local homeless man is murdered:

His homeless "buddy" finds body and leads police to it, then "confesses" after being detained and questioned for 9 hours. The confession is very detailed, but incidentally, never addresses a missing finger and the fact that the accused was in jail for public intox around the time of the murder. He is later charged. Locals suddenly feel terrible for not helping the two homeless men out more....

Cops stand by their case, saying it wasn't their fault the wrong guy confessed.
Yeah.

Now before people, like some in the last article say "kudos to the cops for continuing to investigate leads" I would respond:
1)its their job
2)it had not gone to trial
3)they didnt talk of the missing finger too much, and someone suddenly says they have it, well, i guess they dont have a choice.
So shame on them for bullying a dumb, alcoholic homeless guy into confessing to this murder, complete with grisly details and entailed human drama.
Man in enid held 2.5 years finally gets acquitted because forensics evidence does not, and never has, link him to the crime and outright disproves Enid police testimony. THE PUBLIC DEFENDER GOT HIM OFF. IMAGINE IF HE HAD A PAID ATTORNEY. OSBI is now investigating and the officers are on leave:
