True Crime - Case 2 - Small Town Murder

[jhungary]

So "Tommy" was the killer. It was pretty straightforward after all.



WTF??? He agreed to being questioned without a lawyer being present!!! Is this guy stupid or something?? As a police officer he should know better. Under NO circumstances should you EVER allow yourself to be questioned without a lawyer. Even if you are obviously not guilty. Unfortunately you could easily accidentally say or do something that heightens the suspicion of you being guilty. The lawyer's main job is to make sure you don't do that. He's going to tell you how to answer the question or dead stop you the second he feels you may have said something inconsistent. He's going to make sure you don't convict yourself.

That cop walks in thinking everything should be easy and trips up on his alibi. The suspicion on him zooms to the ceiling. He ends up in jail for it. Don't EVER do that.
Just say to the police "I would really really really really really like to talk with you since I have nothing to hide...however for MY PROTECTION I would need to have a lawyer present.

Yes, tommy is the killer. He broke in to Vivian house so he can talk to her about the relationship, ended up killing her because he snapped, his explanation is, Vivian wasn't willing to listen to him....

And yes, it is quite honestly stupid to be allow himself questioned without a lawyer present, and the Police Miranda you for a reason, you don't have to participate or say anything if you are unsure what to say, you can invoke 5th amendment anytime and ask for a lawyer. He didn't and that basically come back and bite him in the ***.

But to be honest, we can all be here talk about him all we wanted, but the thing is, he think he didn't do it, he know he didn't do it, and by then it's only logical if he think even if he incriminate himself, they should not be able to convict him, his thinking was wrong, but under the circumstance, it's logical to think that way. But then he being a cop and still fall into this, there are no other word we can use except stupid....
