In Cambodia confessions are nearly always obtained. Why? The methods are never made public.

Is it because most of the people are poor and cannot afford to lawyer up?

That’s true but the more pertinent reason is they are by and large a simple minded people, easily tricked & trapped by the most basic cross examination techniques.
