Accused rapists claims he was coerced to confess by lettuce diet followed by offer of chips
Rapist Complains He Confessed Only After Lettuce-Diet “Torture”
Posted by: Olivia Allin

Bruce Tuck, an alleged serial rapist, is whining that authorities tricked him into confessing. Evidently, they put the 275-pound dude on a lettuce-only diet and then tempted him with a bag of chips in exchange for information. Tuck also said that he might not be mentally competent (can’t argue with that), claimed he was never read his Miranda rights, and insisted that detectives had another “person of interest” that they didn’t bother pursuing. Probably because there was his DNA at the scene of the crimes? Tuck pled guilty in December to three sexual assaults and 21 possible felony charges including rape, kidnapping, burglary, and robbery. He was arrested at his parents’ home, surrounded by items taken during the attacks ... but insists cops didn’t have a warrant or his parents’ permission to search the house. Tuck faces a 60-year sentence.
