this
is not
how an interrogation
WORKS!!!
i'm not an expert but i've watched enough true crime shows to know that any good detective wouldn't go in for the kill immediately, especially when it's a fucking teenager being questioned. he'd be questioned for hours and giving his statement and they'd see if it matched up to what evidence is there, not to mention THE VICTIM CAN VOUCH FOR HIM!!!
this is not how detectives work and think, i don't fucking care how bad of a reputation his family has. this is just a cliche ploy to hammer into the readers heads that Ethan's life is so terrible and horrible and awful with ZERO subtlety and nuance at all.
JESUS.
