/ Terrill Swift, who spent 15 years in prison after being coerced into confessing to a crime he did not commit, speaks at a news conference Thursday in favor of a law that bans the deceptive interrogation of minors by law enforcement. Terrill Swift spent 15 years in prison, convicted of a rape and murder which DNA evidence later proved he did not commit. On Thursday, he appeared alongside lawmakers and criminal justice reform advocates in support of a bill signed by Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker to ban deceptive police interrogation of minors. The measure, Senate Bill 2122, was unanimously approved by lawmakers earlier this year, and Illinois has been hailed as the first state in the nation to enact such a law.
