1. On December 18, 1791, a 12-year old Philadelphia apprentice, Dillon, was arrested for burning down several stables containing hay and other goods. He was told by his minister, his boss and others to confess for the good of his “body and soul” but he insisted he was innocent. He was then taken to the dungeon where he was shown the horror of what he would experience if he did not confess. He was told he would be confined in this dungeon, dark and cold and hungry. But if he confessed, he would be well given a nice room, fire, food, and may expect to receive pity from the court. Dillon continued to say he was innocent, but after he was kept in the dungeon for 2 days without heat, food, or water, he confessed. Dillon’s attorney said this confession was unreliable and illegal. Why would he argue this? Do you think Dillion’s rights were violated? Explain.
