Mr. Halim Flowers was sentenced to two life sentences without possibility of parole at the age of 16. Based on a law he helped get passed in D.C., he was released in 2019 after serving over two decades and losing his entire youth. This is a story about cognitive capacity and arrested development in Black youth during a time when there was little understanding of the brain development, and the redemption and success of a Black man proving that a youth can become more than their worst mistake.

In this episode we wrap up the Brendan Dassey cognitive capacity episode by digging into the taped interrorgation videos. We discuss how the video makes it appear as though the officers utilized Brendan's impairment to coerce him into a form of forced confessions. We also discuss of course the confluence between his cognitive capacity and this coerced confession.

Stay tuned to the bonus episode where I will address the Candace Owens Series. Specifically when she discusses Brendan Dassey.

This is the first episode in season 2 and I decided why not kick it off with a big case! So, for the first time ever, the Brendan Dassey case will get a deep dive analysis and discussion from the standpoint of communication disorders. Like only The Juvenile Forensic SLP can do, I will unpack his cognitive and communication disorders and correlate its impact on his coerced confession, Miranda Rights, and wrongful conviction. This will be a multi-episode series so hang tight and lock in! Welcome back to Cognitive Capacity Season II!!!
