ABSTRACT
The suspect has just acknowledged involvement in the issue under investigation by accepting one of the interrogator’s assumptive questions. However, this acceptance is not a confession, but merely the first admission in the development process. The interrogator takes the first admission that the suspect makes and develops it into a legally acceptable confession by having the suspect provide details of the crime. The interrogator then expands the initial admission into other areas of dishonesty or criminal activity within the community or company.
