Interview Reflect

On Friday, we had interviews in class based on hypos we were given Wednesday in class. My group came up with eleven questions as our script. Nick was suppose to interview a student in class but after reading the article, John had a plan about how the interview would play out. During the interview things did get a tad bit heated. Nick and John worked as a team to ask the questions and it was quite entertaining.
One observation I had was that at one point, the interviewee said she hated yogurt. Our crime had been that yogurt was stolen from the cafeteria. The interview could have ended there, instead John began to question if there were any exceptions to the interviewee's hatred to yogurt. Lucky, for John there were and the interview was able to continue. I feel like if this was how officers questioned interviewees, then there may be some false confessions to crime.
Another observation, was that while we were coming up with these question, it was tough to come up with questions regarding a crime. I am glad that we worked as a team to come up with the interview and in the end, I was satisfied how our interview went. It was a great, unusual experience.
