Appeals Court Rejects Immunity to Civil Liability of Police Interrogation 

4th District Court of Appeal in California ruled Thursday (10-14-99) that Mrs. Peng was illegally coerced into incriminating herself. The justices were critical of her long interrogation without counsel.

"Even an innocent person would make some kind of statement potentially incriminating after nine hours of threats, intimidation and bullying by law enforcement officers in the bowels of a county jail..." Presiding Justice David Sills wrote. (excerpted from: Peng 10-5-99 in the Other Documents section)

"... I am the father of Derek Tice. After contacting over 79 people and organizations about this, I have come to the realization that people and organizations are not likely to help or even give advice, until it affects them personally. I will continue my efforts to make a difference, but who will be the next victim of a system gone awry?"
