Default Why innocent people should never talk to the police!

Law Professor James Duane explains why innocent people should never talk to the police.

1. There is no way it can help

2. If your client is guilty- and even if he is innocent- he may admit his guilt with no benefit in return

3. Even if yiour client is innocent and denies his guilt and mostly tells the truth, he can easily egt carried away and tell some little lie or make some little mistake that will hang him

4. Even if your client ios innocent and only tells the truth, he will always give the police some information that can be used to help convict him

5. Even if your client is innocent and only tells the truth and does not tell the police anything incriminating, there is still a grave chance that his answers can be used to crucify him if the police don't recall his testimony with 100% accuracy

6. Even if your client is innocent and only tells the truth and does not tell the police anytbhing incriminating and his statement is videotaped, his answersx can be used to crucify him if the police don't recall the questions with 100% accuracy

7. Even if your client is innocent and only tells the truth and doers not tell the police anything incriminating and the entire interview is videotaped, his answers can still be used to crucify him if the police have any evidence, even mistaken or unreliable evidence, even if any of his statements are false. (ex Martha Stewart, Marion Jones)

ok. Let's test this out. If you live in center city, tell the police what you know. If you live in north or west phila; don't say anything without a lawyer present, even if the crime is in progress.


Let's compare notes after 2 years.

If he is only a professor and not a practicing attorney, his words don't hold that much weight. Sorry.

In the youtube link I provided, I think he said he was a former defense attorney..(or something like that)...

Anyway, check out the video because it very interesting...

This really applies only if you are a suspect. If you are not a suspect and the police ask for information and refuse to cooperate you can be committing a crime of withholding evidence.

Is this for real?

I just clicked on the link you provided, and here's the following stories on it:

Pimpin - THE NEW BUSINESS MODEL

Tupac and the Revolutionary Shakur Family

RECORD DEALS CAN BE DETRIMENTAL TO YOUR HEALTH

Lil Wayne: “F*&k You If You’re a Mixtape DJ”


And then some youtube videos of a 53 year old school teacher getting into a fight with a student.

If these are the geniuses you rely on for your news, I think I'll pass even after you correct your pimpilicious blog link.
