    3. The Polygraph and Mishandled DNA
    Apr 28 2025
    After being accused of sexual assault, Daniel Holtzclaw was interrogated by detectives. Holtzclaw proactively offered to undergo a polygraph examination and consented to DNA testing, demanding to obtain the evidence he thought would exonerate him. He signed waivers, effectively throwing away his own rights. Investigators collected his DNA, examined his uniform. They searched his phone, personal vehicle, and apartment. During the trial, DNA evidence became a focal point. There was DNA that matched his accusers, but how did it get there? His defense team have continued to argue that the DNA investigation and interpretation of evidence was flawed.

    2. The Initial Interrogation
    Apr 17 2025
    A dive deep into the pivotal moment that would set the tone for the case against former Oklahoma City police officer Daniel Holtzclaw—his initial police interview. What seemed like a routine internal inquiry quickly turned into a strategic interrogation. We examine the psychological tactics used by Holtzclaw's interrogators, how they fostered a false sense of security by posing as supportive colleagues, and how Holtzclaw’s own trust in his department would become his undoing. Through subtle manipulation and leading questions, investigators allowed Holtzclaw to talk—and talk he did. We break down the key mistakes he made during the interview, how they unraveled his credibility, and ultimately contributed to building the case that would lead to his arrest and conviction. A chilling look into how one man’s confidence in the badge became the rope he used to hang himself.
