Why I am so wishy-washy about the death penalty in some criminal cases,,,
The pair were teens at the time they were convicted of the 1992 murders of Yarbough's mother, younger sister, and a cousin.
Yarbough discovered the three bloodied bodies of his loved ones and alerted police. Then cops asked him to come down to the station to help them figure out who killed his kin.
"Before you know it, I had this photograph shoved in my face, and I was being threatened and slapped around, and they wanted me to sign a false confession. And I wouldn't," Yarbough said.
Wilson was also brought in for questioning and, after being pressured, gave a false confession that also implicated Yarbough in the killings.
"I was scared, afraid; I was lied to, manipulated into believing that I was going to go home, if I do tell ... what they said happened." Wilson said.
