Robert Davis' false confession is examined in the new podcast Wrongful Conviction False Confessions
On the night of Feb. 19, 2003, a fire broke out in a home near where Virginia high school senior Robert Davis lived. The body of a woman was found with a knife in her back and her throat slit, and nearby, her 3-year-old son had died of smoke inhalation.
Davis denied his involvement multiple times, and asked to take lie detector tests. At the time, he wasn’t aware his schoolmates Rocky and Jessica Fugett, who were siblings, had already admitted to the murders — and told police Davis was involved. Davis complied, and confessed — and why he did so is examined in depth on the podcast episode dropping Feb. 26.
