Recant?

The Los Angeles Times has printed this astounding account by one of the McMartin child witnesses about how -- according to him -- investigators and other adults (including his parents) pressured him into making up allegations against the McMartin defendants. Something like this just leaves you wondering: What is the truth, and what is the lie?

Have you seen "Inventing the Friedmans" the HBO Films Documentary about the father / son who were convicted of molesting like 40 boys while teaching them computer classes? Such a very sad sad story, same sort of situation, now 15 years later with the father dead in prison the then 19 year old son just having finished his prison sentence the bulk of the witnesses are recanting their statements saying the police told them what to say....
