The Chicago company that created a controversial interrogation technique is now putting WhenTheySeeUs director Ava DuVernay and Netflix in the legal hot seat over a line in the Emmy winning series
“Defendants published the statements in ‘When They See Us’ in an effort to cause a condemnation of the Reid Technique,” says the suit filed by John E. Reid & Associates against the Oscar nominee and the streamer over a line in the fourth and final episode of the series depicting the rush to justice against five young men falsely accused of being the near fatal rapists of the woman who became known as the Central Park Jogger in 1989.
In the DuVernay helmed and co-penned episode NYPD Detective Michael Sheenan is castigated for using the “universally rejected” Reid Technique to get the accused to cough up confessions, confessions that further investigation and the courts took decades to find were coerced. “I don’t even know what the f***ing Reid Technique is, OK?” replies the Willian Sadler portrayed character. “I know what I was taught. I know what I was asked to do and I did it.
