There you go, Mike.

Now you got it.

Now you're working.

Now you remember.

You remember, right?

One of the detectives is trying to get him to confess and goes behind him and puts his gun behind his head.

He doesn't have to say, I'm going to shoot you.

But anyone who is in that situation, I think, would feel scared.

Between the feeding of facts, the threat, and this false memory belief, plus the fear they put into him, they basically scared him to death.

What happened at trials is they tried Springsteen first.

And at Springsteen's trial, they used part of Scott's confession against him.

And then at Scott's trial, they used part of Springsteen's confession against him.

So they used their confessions against each other.

Despite the confessions being recanted soon after they were given, they were still used as a key piece of evidence.

Michael Scott is also found guilty.

The juries believed the statements and ultimately returned convictions.

Robert Springsteen was sentenced to death by lethal injection, and Michael Scott was sentenced to life in prison.

Maurice Pierce sits in the Travis County Jail for about three years, awaiting trial, and prosecutors drop the charges against him.

All they've got is that they were together, so they have to let him go.

15 years after the crime, the cases of Springsteen and Scott are remanded to be retried after the U.S.
