Bulletin: Raymond McCann: Michigan: Perjury. (An oppresive interrogation case - including an allegation that investigators lied during interrogations, which included claiming to have scientific evidence suggesting that McCann touched Parrack’s body.) Steven Drizen, perhaps best known for representing Brendan Dassey of the Netflix series Making a Murderer, has agreed to work on his case - a conviction for perjury in relation to the 2007 murder of 11-year-old Jodi Parrack; "(Drizen) is also shocked that McCann remains in prison for perjury even though a man named Daniel Furlong was convicted for the murder after confessing to the crime last year, claiming that he worked alone and did not know McCann." Innocence Project of Florida.

"Steven Drizin, has agreed to work on Raymond McCann’s case. McCann was convicted for perjury in relation to the 2007 murder of 11-year-old Jodi Parrack. What makes the case so interesting is that McCann is a former reserve police officer, which is unlike many other convicted individuals who have extensive criminal histories Drizin, who was once the director of the Northwestern Law School’s Center on Wrongful Convictions, is a clinical professor of law at the university specializing in police interrogations and false confessions. He will be working with the University of Michigan Law School’s Innocence Clinic on McCann’s case. After speaking with McCann over the phone, Drizin intends to meet him in person soon and hopes to overturn his conviction using hours of interrogations that were recorded on video. Drizin stated that authorities with the Michigan State Police, which took over the case in 2007, who interrogated McCann numerous times exhibited tunnel vision by focusing on him as their prime suspect. He supported his argument by citing McCann’s 86 denials of involvement in the crime, along with several factors that indicated he was innocent. Drizin also stated that investigators lied during interrogations, which included claiming to have scientific evidence suggesting that McCann touched Parrack’s body. He is also shocked that McCann remains in prison for perjury even though a man named Daniel Furlong was convicted for the murder after confessing to the crime last year, claiming that he worked alone and did not know McCann."
