The Psychology Of True Crime Doug Bremner pt. 1

When Amanda Knox got back to her apartment in Perugia, Italy, she was terrified of seeing blood in the bathroom while her roommate lay lifeless in her locked bedroom. It was 2007 and she was in a foreign country for a student exchange program. After the authorities compiled initial evidence of the gory scene with the consideration that she was in the company of her deceased roommate, Amanda was wrongfully convicted. A grueling investigation followed, both involving the Italian and American justice systems. It was only in 2015 that she was finally acquitted.

Investigating crimes is a crucial part of any justice system. Experts always utilize critical thinking to ensure that traces are accurate. When it comes to the justice system, decision-making is also as crucial as gathering evidence to identify the culprit.

Doug Bremner is a psychologist and physician based in Atlanta, Georgia. He is the brother of Anne Bremner, a prolific attorney who was also a previous guest on this podcast. Doug’s expertise in psychiatry and nuclear medicine encouraged him to release a book with his sister about the Amanda Knox case, the flaws of the justice system, and the solutions needed to address and resolve these issues. In this episode, he explains more about the psychology involving the authority’s decision-making process.
