Darian Dove, the man who implicated his former employer Mario Willis in the murder of Detroit firefighter Walter Harris, has admitted to being a "pathological liar" about his involvement. The revelation comes as part of a crucial hearing that could ultimately lead to Willis's exoneration from a 12-30 year sentence.
In a dramatic turn of events, Dove took the stand for the second time, contradicting previous statements he made under police coercion. He admitted to having started the fire at 7418 East Kirby, which led to Harris's death, but claimed that Willis had assigned him the deed and told him to start the fire as part of a scheme.
However, when questioned about his previous statements, Dove repeatedly denied making them, saying he "made it up." He also admitted to having perjured himself in court. Private investigator Julianne Cuneo testified that Dove had previously told her that Detroit Police officers had "badgered and pressured" him into changing his story.
During the hearing, defense attorney Craig Daly grilled Dove, pointing out inconsistencies in his testimony and repeatedly asking if he was a pathological liar. Dove eventually confessed to being one, saying "Yes."
The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office Conviction Integrity Unit had previously rejected Willis's application for exoneration in Harris's death. However, with new evidence and testimony from Dove, the hearing may provide the opportunity for Willis to prove his innocence.
Dove's admission of being a pathological liar has significant implications for the case against Mario Willis. It raises questions about the reliability of witness testimony and the coercive tactics used by law enforcement in high-pressure situations. The outcome of this hearing will have far-reaching consequences for Willis, who remains incarcerated pending resolution.

I'm totally with Darian Dove on one hand... he's clearly been manipulated by the cops and has been telling the truth all along, but then again, his complete reversal of statements just to save himself is kinda shady 
. He says "I made it up" when asked about previous lies, but if that's true, why would he suddenly change his story now? 
And what's with the contradictory testimonies from Dove and Julianne Cuneo? Either way, it's clear that there's some major issues with how this whole thing went down 
. But at the same time... if Dove is indeed a pathological liar, that could totally discredit his testimony in court 
. This whole situation is just too complicated to get a straight answer out of 
.

but seriously, if Willis is exonerated it would be a major win for justice, especially considering all the years he's spent behind bars. And you're right, this raises some serious questions about witness testimony and police tactics 
that's some dodgy behavior right there. I mean, he even admitted to lying in court, which is like a big no-no. And now the whole case against Willis is called into question because of it. 
how can we trust anything Dove says from now on? 
this whole case is a harsh reminder of how easily our justice system can be manipulated, especially when it comes to vulnerable witnesses like Dove. 
. he's a pathological liar, and that's some deep stuff 
. and think about all the other cases where people might've been coerced into lying - it's like a whole web of deceit 
.
. this is gonna be a wild ride, and I hope Willis gets justice

I just saw that thread about Darian Dove admitting to being a pathological liar and I'm still trying to process it all... like how can one person's lies lead to someone else getting wrongly convicted? 
It's wild that new evidence and testimony from Dove could change everything, and I'm definitely keeping an eye on this case 
and it's soooo messed up how they had Darian Dove lie about everything initially 
. Like, how could they even pressure someone like that into changing their story under police coercion? It's so not cool 
The inconsistencies in his story are insane! 
It's like, if you're gonna lie about something, at least try to keep a straight face, right?
I guess you could say justice is finally starting to catch up with him... or maybe not? 
hopefully this new evidence can finally set him free 
. Now we gotta wonder if all those years were worth it for Mario Willis? This whole thing is getting crazy...
. This whole thing is just so twisted and unbelievable...
