PART 
II
Police
you 
would 
probably 
get 
voluntary 
manslaughter 
and 
might 
get 
probation, 
but 
if 
you 
insist 
on 
your 
innocence, 
you 
will 
be 
charged 
with 
first-degree 
murder 
and 
face 
the 
death 
penalty. 
What 
would 
you 
do?
(Obviously, 
this 
situation 
shifts 
our 
focus 
from 
the 
criminal 
justice 
professional’s 
dilemma. 
If 
you 
decided 
earlier 
that 
the 
police 
tactic 
of 
lying 
about 
forensic 
evidence 
is 
ethical, 
this 
hypothetical 
illustrates 
what 
might 
happen 
when 
innocent 
suspects 
are 
lied 
to—assuming 
you 
are 
innocent!)
