Will the people that will be performing the torture be given a lie detector test first to ensure that they're not racist?
The point of his question is to find closure. How do you know she's dead? Maybe he sold her into sex trafficking.
Do you stop searching on his word alone, maybe he's a liar.

Why is everything with you about race?
You have stated that white jurors should be given lie detector tests to prove they were not racist. Just seeing where you stand with those who would torture a black suspect.
Only a total scumbag would torture somebody because they were black. Thats where I stand.
It will be interesting to know exactly what evidence they have on this guy and how they really were able to hone in and identify him.

Domestic law enforcement should not be permitted to employ coercive techniques.
Unlike many, I do not consider waterboarding to be torture.
1. Agreed
2. How can you not considering putting people in a position where they feel like they are drowning to be torture?
Domestic law enforcement should not be permitted to employ coercive techniques.
Unlike many, I do not consider waterboarding to be torture. I reserve that term for procedures more ghastly. In any case, coercive force employed to make him reveal the location of the body would, IMO, be a violation of his 5th amendment rights against self-incrimination. Even if only done after a conviction, he may still have appeal rights etc.

Why is it legal for him to torture the parents of this girl by not telling them where he dumped the body? Why is it legal for him to use this information as an instrument to reduce his sentence?

I already mentioned it: The 5th amendment.

Excluding any evidence discovered as a result of comments made from coercive techniques avoids that problem.
I am sure everybody is aware of Jesse Matthew the serial killer responsible for the rape and murder of Hannah Graham. At this point it is slam dunk that he will get the death penalty. The question is: would you be OK with the government waterboarding Jesse Matthew to force him to disclose the location of her body? This would not be done to punish Jesse but to provide some closure for her family.

Absolutely not. I do not condone the torture people, whether privately or through the force of government, even if those people have wronged us in horrific ways. We're not a bunch of animals that some of these serial killers are and we should aspire to be better than they are instead of lowering ourselves to their level.would you be OK with the government waterboarding Jesse Matthew to force him to disclose the location of her body?
