Ten years ago Brenton Butler went on trial for a murder he did not commit based on a false and coerced confession and faulty i.d. testimony. The case became the subject of an Academy Award winning film -Murder on a Sunday Morning – and has led to significant changes in the interrogation practices of Jacksonville officers. Whereas they once opposed electronic recording, it is now standard practice in homicide case.
