Click the link to read the transcript of Mark Kirk's confession to setting a fire with an inflammable substance. The interrogators use the "Reid Technique," in which they try to gain the suspect's trust by sympathy. "You are not a bad person, we know that, but maybe, just maybe you did something wrong." Likewise, they try to elicit answers of "yes" to many questions, to make the suspect sympathetic.
