61. Peter Brooks, Troubling Confessions: Speaking G uilt in Law and Literature 40
(2000). The interrogation of Dimitri Karamazov in Fyodor Dostoevsky’s The
Brothers Karamazov is an excellent literary example of how interrogation distorts
the truth even when the interrogators bear no deliberate motivation to distort. See
Richard H. Weisberg, The Failure o f the Word 55-58 (1984) (commenting on “Dos-
toevsk[y]’s belief that the legal investigator, like the novelist himself, is motivated
by an essentially personalized vision of reality”).

questions were related to a “valid legislative purpose”).
