Mel,
I hope I didn't upset you. I didn't mean to. It's just that that particular statement is one of the nons favorite whipping boys. You know, "Supporters are so dumb that they say he was interrogated for 12 hours when it was really only 3 or 4." So, whenever I see someone making that mistake, I try to point it out, politely. If I failed in the politeness element, I apologize. It's very late (2:30 am) here, and I need to get to bed!
It's still a very valid point that, however long it was, it wasn't all recorded, so we simply don't know what they said to Jessie during the unrecorded period. However, comparing his first statement to his "corrected" statement (both made on 6/3/1993), it's easy to see, like you said, where he has been "coached" into what they wanted to hear. That's what is important, not the length of the time during which he was interrogated.
