In the Manhattan trial of Natavia Lowery, accused of killing Linda Stein, the court rejected the proposed testimony on false confessions of Ohio forensic psychologist Solomon Fulero, stating that, "Fulero would have nothing to contribute that a jury, properly guided by careful instructions, could not determine for themselves." The judge further stated that, "Fulero's offered nothing of scientific or evidentiary value to support his claim that the Reid technique leads to an increase in false confessions."
