@Tony Ortega you should ask for a lawyer no matter what. That's the first thing you do, then you go over it with them and you'll be better prepared for what your getting into

@Remlat Zargonix It's shocking how many of these happen without a lawyer. I'm autistic and watching these terrifies me. I'm guessing these guys have little to zero training in how people who aren't "typical" react under pressure.
I pick my fingers agitatedly just about all the time. I'd find sitting this close to a stranger incredibly stressful. The fluorescent lights would make it difficult for me to think and put thoughts into words. Etc.
I could go from a completely innocent bystander to highly suspect, just by existing.

@TEQ Snukka she was there voluntarily, not under arrest. At that point she isn’t a suspect and wouldn’t need a lawyer, what victim requests a lawyer

@icecreamforcrowhurst yeah if she asked immediately, but once it becomes clear she’s being suspected. You should never talk to the cops, all the people on this channel would be much better served by asking for a lawyer.  If police already have enough to definitely get you by charging you, then the interrogation is pointless anyway

Always ask for a lawyer, ESPECIALLY if you didn't do it. If you get to this point, bet they already think you did it, or they don't actually care and just want to pin it on someone and go home. Just be, "Hey, i don't like what you're implying, I'm not saying anything else until i talk to a lawyer "<br>... and then stop talking to the cops. They are never your friend.

It's your constitutional right and believe it or not, cops are <b>allowed</b> to lie during interrogations.  GET A LAWYER.   Fudge it if it bugs you:  "Officer, I'm really bad in pressure situations like this.  I stutter and overheat and blurt out things I think the person wants to hear, even if not true.  I'd be much more comfortable with a lawyer."  Then STFU.

@Pangolin Steak & Bat Gravy Not necessarily true. Innocent people will often answer the 'Friendly' phase 1 questions until they realize the interrogator thinks they're guilty anyway. That's when they realize asking for a lawyer might be a good idea to defend their innocence.

@sayret269 I said - if the cops try to tangle you in a simple description of the truth, call a lawyer. The advice to automatically call a lawyer if you talk to the police is idiotic and paranoid - it sounds to me like either the advice of a lawyer, or somebody used to attending police interviews about crimes they are guilty of.

@StereoPatios If you get in trouble, well, then a lawyer will be to little to late. So, always start of by getting the lawyer so you don't get in trouble in the first place.

@StereoPatios If you get in trouble, well, then a lawyer will be to little to late. So, always start of by getting the lawyer so you don't get in trouble in the first place.

@no In fact, the idea of the risk of the police being privy to information that is not available to you -  was an example presented by yourself. I asked how a lawyer could help if (for instance) the plain truth would put you in the same place, on the same evening as the crime and therefore would likely make you suspect. A lawyer, under those circumstances, being also entirely unaware what the police know, will advise you to tell the truth - which is hopefully what you would have done anyway. If the situation is complex, call a lawyer - if the police misbehave and try to tangle you in a simple description of the truth, call a lawyer. Automatically calling a lawyer because the police talk to you, is idiotic and, if anything, is likely to cause problems / delay and leave you with a bill.

@StereoPatios If you don't like reading long lecture's, don't ask non specific questions about highly situational topics.
If we all had the power dictate how people answer us, discussion's wouldn't even be a thing. Correct me if i'm wrong but I have the notion that if you truly want to learn or discuss, you would argue someone's arguments instead of attacking the way they present them, but I guess not all of us can learn that in grade school.

As for scenario's when the cops won't suspect you outright to have committed the crime, you tell them what you know.
 But that's not what you suggested and asked about is it? You in essence asked me why you would call a lawyer when a cop has information you are unaware of and suspects you for a crime because of that information.
Here's your direct quote: "If the truth suggests you may be a suspect because of information you aren't privy to,, a lawyer isn't going to be able to help much anyway." After which you asked me what he would advice you in a way that suggested that none of his advice would be of any help.
In turn I gave you an extensive explanation of why viewing "the truth" in that scenario is a helpless endeavor because the goals of the prosecuting party sometimes differs from finding it due to their trained behavior. And why asking for a lawyer would help if you are innocent, by describing how it isn't uncommon to talk yourself into trouble given the nature of police interrogations. And further telling you about how asking for a lawyer is a beneficial thing to do, even if you're guilty due to the benefit of doubt.

I don't really get why you would argue the way I present my points, but since you're presenting me with reasoning about a point I never made, I would suggest you do a better job at reading what you write and specifically ask before complaining about semantics relating to the way an answer is presented.

Thanks for the overly long lecture on the nature of truth. I was especially appreciative of the observation that the police can't be sure that you are telling the truth - this had honestly never occurred to me before. The only advice i feel i can give to you, is that It  might help if you occasionally read what has been communicated to you before plunging into another lawyer add. If you become a suspect and end up being interrogated, rather than 'helping police with their enquiries', unless the truth is very simple - ie "I was standing there and I saw stranger A stab stranger B and then i called an ambulance", you should probably get a lawyer. If you are witness to a traffic accident or you are reporting someone suspicious lurking outside a bank or they knock on your door asking you if you have seen a missing child, there is usually no need to hire a lawyer and you simply wasting your money.

@magrathean0  You seem to be under the impression that the truth is the only thing questioned here. Its not and it never will be because people aren't all knowing.

If a cop for whatever reason gives you the impression that you are a suspect for a crime that you did not commit, you can be damn straight he will be looking for signs that gives him a reason to open a case against you. But not necessarily the truth, because sometimes they have no way to know for certain. Since evidence doesn't need to be necessarily absolutely bullet and waterproof concrete in every case, you might just as well be convicted for something you haven't committed. And there certainly are enough cases where authority figures just want to put someone behind bars for a raise.

In scenario's like these your "truth" (which is whatever you say you think will save you) isn't worth a dime. That's why you get a lawyer, to first of all shut the fuck up and don't give them any reason to start a case against you if you're truly innocent or not (depending on how you deal with stressful situations your defense might backfire because of the nature of an interrogation). And secondly to fight against whatever the opposing party might be perceiving as the truth by only saying things that won't harm you (saying the truth in a way that makes the other party see you as innocent under law).

And for your information and question: First of all, information that makes you a suspect which you aren't privy to doesn't prove that you committed a crime necessarily. On the other hand saying dumb shit under stress that the other party is more or less coercing you into (this is what can happen during an interrogation) will be seen as hard evidence. So YES, shutting the fuck up will help you quite a lot.

The double edged sword here is of course that shutting the fuck up also works when you are not innocent. Why do you think that people who remain silent and are convicted statistically get less time to do? Its because there is always the offset that the person was just at the wrong moment, at the wrong time or said something he shouldn't have under pressure. That is why judges give the benefit of doubt and are morally inclined to be less harsh, because they know there is a real chance the person convicted might be innocent.

Secondly, if something does go to court, they are legally obliged to present their evidence before anything happens regardless, so even if you get a case against you when you're innocent, there will be no information you aren't privy to when the time comes. So why risk your fate depending on another's legal or illegal reasons to suspect you and ultimately risk the chance of making the situation worse under a stressful atmosphere, when you are fully capable of defending yourself if you truly are innocent in court?

So you know, moral of the story: Shut the fuck up and get a lawyer so you know what to say whether you're innocent or not.

@no If the truth suggests you may be a suspect because of information you aren't privy to,, a lawyer isn't going to be able to help much anyway. What is he going to advise you to do? Lie? remain silent?

xWC_EFT yea but the problem is the money you spend because you call a lawyer.

@StereoPatios Telling the truth won't help you if they don't believe you and you don't know what might be used against you while telling em. You get a lawyer even if you're innocent, because the person on the other side might not necessarily care about innocence.

@Hey If you're a witness in a crowd  - sure it's fine. If you're at all involved in a crime - i.e victim, family member, lover - they always look first at people who are close to the crime.  If you're invited to the station for an interview, you're by default viewed as a person of interest, if not a suspect, and you need a lawyer.  It doesn't matter how it looks, what matters is that you don't provide self-incriminating statements by opening your mouth - innocent or guilty.

I mean if you're a witness and partial victim to assist catching the criminals of your own home invasion. What would it look like if you get a lawyer lol 4head?

@instantclassic asking for an attorney does not incriminate you - especially if you're innocent. They have to prove you're guilty, not the other way around. So if you ask for a lawyer, even if they are suspicious - if you didn't do anything wrong, there won't be any evidence and you won't be risking self-incriminating because your lawyer won't let you. Ask anyone in the police force if they were brought in for a police "interview" (a.k.a interrogation) would they call for an attorney immediately.

ball stealthy true. It would just raised suspicion to the cops if u get a lawyer. Why u get a lawyer if you aren't told youre a suspect. Cop strategies for suspects are not to tell they are suspects. (Except to those who are red-handedly caught)

People who lie, do not ask for a lawyer because they know if they ask for a lawyer they are immediately a suspect. She is acting like a typical victim. For all the TV Cops who respond here, I would ask, why back ground do you have in criminal investigations  I have over 30 years and 2 degrees in criminalology and criminal psychology.

It actually speaks to why many guilty people Don't ask for a lawyer, because they are concerned with appearing innocent, while they know they Are guilty, so of course they do Everything to appear innocent, including not asking for a lawyer And blabbing away!!

@ball stealthy lol. Only time they can charge you without evidence is if you killed a black person.  Contrary to popular belief you need evidence to charge someone with a crime. Asking for a lawyer isnt evidence of you guilt. They might think its shady you be asking for a lawyer after seeing your parents get killed during a home robbery.

ball stealthy , but the chances they’ll convict you is WAY WAY WAY lower if you lawyer up immediately. Most people get convicted because they talk and either confess or contradict before getting a lawyer. Too late then. Whether you’re innocent or guilty, get a lawyer and don’t say a word without them. You’re playing at a huge disadvantage without one.

@AMAB Charat So what if they get suspicious due to you asking for a lawyer and turn the investigation on you? If you're innocent, that investigation won't turn up any physical evidence on you, and since you have a lawyer, they won't trick you into "confessing" or something either because your lawyer will shut them down. HOPING they don't try to fuck you over is way riskier than having actual defenses on your side, even if it's more likely you're targeted, the defenses are now up.

@caroline.c.lucille Doesn't matter if they think it's hella suspicious, they can't use it against you in court, so sucks for them.

I think I understand why people feel being innocent means you have no fear of talking because you know everything you say is truthful. Even I would love to talk in those situations. Yet knowing that police will want to fill a quota and wrongly convict innocents, I would prefer to protect myself and get a lawyer plain and simple.

@ball stealthy good. Then you already have a lawyer.  If getting a lawyer makes  them charge you.  You were already gonna get charged and now you have representation. And since you were thinking no lawyer.. you definitely need one

@Pangolin Steak & Bat Gravy and plenty of truly innocent people get charged and convicted because they didn't have a lawyer to guide them.  You rarely can help.even if you're innocent you can  inadvertently seem guilty enough to charge and convict.. always have a lawyer present when speaking with police whenever possible.

@ball stealthy it's not the cops decision to charge or not, their job is just to investigate. Prosecutors are more likely to charge you of you've been talking to the police, even denials can be used as evidence against you, for instance were you here or there at a certain time and you say no but they have witnesses or CCTV proving otherwise. Always ask for a lawyer, especially if you're innocent.

Noone calls a lawyer in this position because it would be a clear sign of guilt. Remember, they aren't under arrest, they aren't charged with anything...as far as everyone is concerned she is considered the victim, and only testifying as a witness. And she would have no reason to think anyone should think otherwise.

Hate to burst people’s bubble but innocent people are convicted all the time. It doesn’t matter if the cops suspect you - it matters if they can get you to say something that sounds suspect or even better, confess.

Tons of innocent people confess to crimes they did not do and all of them say “I didn’t think I needed a lawyer, I’m innocent”

If Jennifer was innocent in the situation she could have been reacting weirdly to the grief, misremembering things and she would still be royally screwed. Police have tactics to make you confess — the best thing you can do is not talk in the first place. They may think that you did it but they’re far less likely to be able to convict you for it

ball stealthy Not true, theres plenty of reasons an innocent person might want legal advice before answering questions.

This is in Canada. They are offered consultation with a lawyer before they are interviewed/interrogated but the lawyer cannot be with them during the interview. So I don’t know if it would’ve helped her. For what she did I don’t know if it should’ve helped her.

Pangolin Steak & Bat Gravy do you realize innocent people get pinned for crimes they didn’t commit all the time? It’s way more common than you think and they get coerced into admitting to doing it. Just don’t say anything to a cop. Even for a traffic ticket. Just let them do or say what they want and if you’re gonna dispute it they can’t hold what you said against you. “Do you know why I pulled you over?” “I don’t know” plain and simple

@AlbanianThrash They're still free to leave at that moment. And if they are arrested, they can't be compelled to make incriminating statements. They have to waive Miranda for a statement in custody to be admissible in court anyway. Invoking the 5th being used against you doesn't do much to help prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you committed a particular crime, given that it's a right afforded to everyone. Thing is, getting caught giving false statements and being dishonest is going to look worse than getting representation every time.

Seriously, innocent or not, you need a lawyer in there with you. As soon as you get word that the cops want to bring you in, hire counsel ASAP.

My biggest mistake was not taking a lawyer. Years after several interrogations they wanted to arrest me for weed and I got a PTSD psychosis of the horrors they've put me thru with questioning. So I fought back that time and now have a criminal record for fighting with the police.

@Annuvyn Arawn Yeah, even if you're innocent, don't talk to the cops without a lawyer.  That doesn't apply to Jennifer because she's not under arrest and she's being interviewed as a victim and a witness.  She wasn't expecting the cops to know their job...she's done.

#1 rule of thumb: if you are interacting with the police say nothing except giving your name & ask for a lawyer. Whether you are a "witness" or being charged because ANYTHING & EVERYTHING WILL be used against you later in court.  I learned that day one in the first 5 minutes of Criminal Law 101.

@ball stealthy No it's not 😂😂😂 It's exercising your rights

@Algo Exactly. More often than not interrogations are just a shortcut to actually legwork. It's easier to lock someone up if they just confess. The issue is that many times these things are a form of psychological torture. There's also a significant amount of studies that demonstrate that false confessions happen much more often than you would think. At that moment, under that level of stress, a lot of people confess to crimes they did not commit under the premise that "fuck it let me just say what they want to hear so they can let me get out of here and THEN I'll lawyer up to fight this case afterwards." Police take advantage of the very intuitive concept that "only guilty people ask for a lawyer" and comport that to the the legal system, which does not function the same as the real world. A lot of well-intentioned people have gotten themselves locked up just because they didn't want to appear guilty.

The point is that even if you're innocent have an attorney around to make sure that the only statements that will be used are the ones you want to be used. Always remember your miranda rights, and if "invited" to talk, you have the right to refuse. Let them subpoena you if they want your testimony very badly. You may look guilty but this is how you protect your rights.

@enkibumbu If you are guilty, getting a lawyer from outset is probably a good idea. However, if you are entirely innocent, it's a judgement call. I don't think it's necessary for the public to use lawyers with every communication with the police. Mind you, if you are a lawyer, this probably sounds like good advice.

@Ciaran <br>still, if you are a witness, its best not to call up a lawyer because that makes you look really bad to the police, your family and your friends. it could even cause everyone to point their fingers at you simply because you did a not so innocent looking move

the funny thing is, asking for a lawyer when youre only being called in to give a witness report to the police automatically makes you a prime suspect

@/X/EN i was thinking the same thing. you don't need a lawyer to a witness statement. showing up with one would have been HELL'A suspicious and just turn their attention to you. I think the moment she should have requested a lawyer would have been during the second interview when the detective started gently asking if she had anything to do with it. that was the obvious point the police showed she might be a suspect. most people would have been offended by idea alone and responded somewhat aggressively to the question. at least asking to stop the interview then and show up with an attorney the next time they called her in, would probably have been appropriate.

@Romain Levesque perhaps, but it's not about what "seems" but what can be proven. if the police have their eyes on you, then there's nothing you can say or do that will make them walk away from it. by asking for a lawyer, they can't keep questioning you, and if they do after you formerly request a lawyer, then anything they get is inadmissible in court and the cops know it. meaning you can even admit to it, but it would be considered coercion and not allowed in court. it's also why police needs either a motive or a warrant to search anything. otherwise anything obtained would be illegally obtained.

@Remlat Zargonix very true. where im from the police tends to focus on a single suspect and question therm until they break. although most of the times they're right, sometimes they're wrong and allow the real criminal to escape. like what happened when maddeline mccan went missing. the police immediately tunnel visioned on the parents and interrogated them for several days straight, on the point of being borderline abusive. to this day it has never been proven that they had anything to do with it and possibly allowed the person or persons who are responsible to get away. had they not been so obsessively focused on pinning it on the parents, and broadened their investigation, perhaps the real perpetrators would have been discovered a lot sooner and the girl found. either alive or dead. but now, chances of knowing what really happened are just about down to 0.

@StereoPatios  That's how literally thousands of innocent people wound up in jail. Cops are lazy. They just want to close the case, justice be damned. Demand a lawyer. It's America, not Saudi Arabia.

ball stealthy  You make a good point about cops and DA's considering "flexing your rights" an admission of guilt.

I'm pulling my hair out trying to find something to substantiate the claim I'm about to make, but frankly, I'm falling short...
Recently (i.e. in the past year or so,) I recall seeing something about a ruling that dialed back the protection the 5th amendment has- that DA's were actually being allowed, legally, to consider the invocation of the fifth Amendment to be an indicator of guilt- the opposite of the spirit of this right, which the Supreme Court has always agreed on and even strengthened a number of times in the past.

I wish I could recall where I heard this because obviously nobody should assume what I'm saying is true unless I can back it up with evidence, but I'm just falling short.  Maybe someone who knows more about the particulars of law, law enforcement, court proceedings, knows what I'm talking about and can fill in the blanks I've left...  It's important stuff and I'm 100% certain I didn't just make this up lol.

I have a feeling I probably saw something about this in a Last Week Tonight video about prosecutors or something along those lines.  Maybe not that episode, but it could've been that show anyway...

Shahrooz Shadbakht  It's truly astounding how people are literally told, by the cops, how to avoid trouble in a HUGE number of instances, and yet the majority of the time they totally disregard that instruction.
I absolutely understand that the entire purpose of some of these tactics are to wear the suspect down, make them think they have no choice, make them forget that walking out at the end is an option, but still, the cops literally started by telling you the most important things if you want to go home:
1) Shut that mouth.
2) Ask for a lawyer.
3) Repeat steps 1 and 2.
4) See step 3.

Alright, just to be fair, everybody needs a lawyer. But at jennifer's case, (if she is totally not involved in the incident) she doesn't need it. She is cooperating and only sole motivation is to catch the suspects. If she's involved, definitely having a lawyer helps to maneuver through investigations.

@Pretty Hate Machine Bless! That is fucking smart. Know your rights and ask for a lawyer immediately. Reflecting on what you wrote it's occurring to me that people who exhibit symptoms of anxiety, ADHD, autism, etc. etc. etc. are particularly likely to be railroaded in this situation. Even as a witness, everyone needs to KNOW they have the right to stay silent except to request a lawyer.

@doc 2 Refuse to speak w/o a lawyer, even as a 'witness.' Seriously watch the video, I wouldn't have thought so either but I am fully convinced by it. I think the big mental thing to get over in the moment is that offending the detectives/incurring their suspicion in the short term is actually way less risky to you than possibly giving them a statement they could use to put you in jail for the long term. The law professor explains it way way better than I could though!

I hate to say it, but, I, almost, feel sorry for her, because, if this case were in America, she would have been lawyered-up after the first interrogation, out of which, they, hardly got ANYTHING from her. That second interrogation ( Gee, I guess Canadian police can get a mulligan! ) would have NEVER happened, and, in fact, unless some actual evidence turned-up, she may have HAD to go free! Thank God, I live in America! :/

do people lawyer up when they're just giving a witness statement tho?  and if they did, wouldn't that give off alarm bells to the detectives as if they have something to hide?

Anyone disagreeing with this with speculations about how asking for a lawyer arouses suspicion.....PLEASE watch the video 'Don't talk to the police' (the first one that comes up when you search the phrase on youtube) where James Duane explains why even (/especially!!!) innocent people should immediately ask for a lawyer. I can't imagine that you will feel the same way you do once you've heard an expert speak on the topic. Traffic stops notwithstanding, do not fucking talk to cops.

I find the psychology of interrogations interesting. But the cops sure do at times try to rush things, so they don't have to put in as much work. Which is a damn shame. I have been interrogated before at 17 when they had some parents on their ass at the school. They never wanted to listen to me, and it caused me to miss school several days and break down because they told me admitting was the only option. Luckily I saw through it. But when you are mentally weak, that is the best thing for cops. They can manipulate you to say what they want. So even when innocent, you should tread carefully. That's why now I am studying to help innocent or maybe even guilty people that can be redeemed for lighter crimes. Because cops don't care at times, a lot of em just care about the quota.

@ball stealthy thats really f-ed up, in Germany the State Attorney is obligated to get evidence of guilt as well as innocence but often don't - well because it isn't in their interest if they want to get people to prison. Both examples where it isn't desirable to give second thoughts and rather jump to conclusions  because the System encourages them to act in a certain way.

ball stealthy no what they think doesn’t matter. They need more. They will arrest and interview afterward if they have already a strong case but when the suspect walked to the interview freely without arrest that means they don’t have enough evidence to justify the arrest yet. The suspect could walk out the room any time in such a case unless the suspect didn’t volunteer with damaging information in the meantime.

@Max Hyde im talking about the fact that a lawyer can know first hand that their client is guilty but still have to defend them.

Right as a police officer the 1st thing I tell my kids family and friends is “I want to help you in any way I can but I want a lawyer present before I answer anything not that I’m guilty I just want to cover my ass.” Cause it’s never a good idea to answer question under that kind of pressure or more mental stress and duress. And if you are guilty like this goofy is it’s always a good to have a lawyer right next to you.... again why he/she will tell you “shut your mouth and let me do the talking”

The more I watch this channel, the more I realize that if I was ever suspected of a crime that I didn't commit or were even just interrogated as a witness, there's a good chance that I would've been wrongfully convicted, because I'm a twitchy fuck with bad attention and memory to details when I'm panicked or even just when I don't see the need to be attentive in a certain situation. I also have a tendency to start acting weird whenever I think that someone is suspicious of me or thinks that I'm lying. it's basically the same kind of behaviour I have when I actually am lying and feel like the person doesn't believe me. It's weird, but the moment I feel like I'm being suspected of lying, I actually start feeling as if I am lying and so I start exhibiting all of the signs of a person who's lying (when I say all of the signs, I actually mean all of them, and very obviously at that, because I'm also a bad liar) even though I know that I'm being truthful.

I feel like if I was in this girl's situation but only as an innocent witness, I would've exhibited many of her behaviours during the questioning process, which could've lead to me being wrongfully convicted. that's why if I ever find myself in a situation where I become a witness of a crime, I'll refuse to speak to the police without a lawyer. In fact, I will never speak to the police without a lawyer, no matter what is the reason that I have to speak with them, even if I'm the one who came to them to press charges against someone, lmao.

@/X/EN um no it your right and you should always exercise your rights, let your lawyer tell you when you don't need him, you wouldn't tell your loved one "only go to the doctor if you absolutely sure you need one" obviously the smarter thing would be "if in an any doubt go to the doctor" The worse thing that can happen then is the doctor tells you you're completely fine.

In theory, she was a victim of a break-in. She's not a suspect. Anyone who is actually innocent would just go and describe what happened and then go home and cry about their dead mom and injured dad. In this case, only a guilty person would need to immediately lawyer up. Or an innocent black man cuz you know they always get railroaded LOL but a pretty little Asian girl, if she were actually inonocent, would have no need for a lawyer -- tell the truth and go home.

Lawyering up is all the more important if you're innocent.
They can, have and will crack false confessions out of you. That's reason enough to get someone who'll tell you to zip your lip and let them make a case if they have it.
They won't.

People who are innocent don't automatically ask for a lawyer. Why would they? Police often interview dozens or even hundreds of people during a major investigation.

You seriously think all these hundreds of innocent people should be requesting a lawyer? That would simply make them look suspect which is exactly why innocent people don't do it.

They tell what they know and that's that because the first instinct of innocent people is they want to help. They don't call a lawyer to relate what they know.

Pangolin Steak & Bat Gravy wrong. As we can see in this channel, guilty sociopaths or psychopaths don’t ask for lawyers. They are above that.

@Pangolin Steak & Bat Gravy nope. My mom was a police cadet and she raised us with this knowledge. ALWAYS get a lawyer before speaking to the cops.

She probably realized that if she asked for a lawyer it would’ve created immediate suspicion. The police would’ve been thinking “wait your mom was just murdered and you want to lawyer up? Why?” She’s trying to avoid looking suspicious.

@caroline.c.lucille No, there's thousands of ways once could incriminate themselves, and police are people, so bias confirmation is a thing. Courts don't argue what actually happened, they argue what could have been/cast reasonable doubt. There is a video on YouTube "Never Speak to the Police" where a defense attorney and a former detective lecture just about this. The detective describes his methods and his colleagues of how they extracted confessions - usually people waved council and started flapping their gums. It's incredible. So. Lawyer. Up. Always. Don't worry about what seems suspicious to you - that's the lawyers job to deal with.

ball stealthy That’s irrelevant. Police are officers of the court, they are trained representatives of the legal power of the state. The person being questioned is not. An interrogation is evidence gathering for the purpose of law enforcement. Anyone who does not have a lawyer present is an idiot. Half decent detectives are never going to abandon a line of enquiry against a chief suspect because that person pulled the wool over their eyes during interview, because in cases of family homicide family members are always the chief suspects.

@ball stealthy no you're going to be charged regardless. The whole "free to leave" shtick is exactly that, a shtick. If you decide to leave at any point during an interview and you are not yet under arrest, you are most likely going to be arrested and charged. The absolute best move you can make, ESPECIALLY if youre innocent, is to request an attorney. If you haven't been arrested yet, the only two questions you are required to answer are "what is your name?" and "what are you doing?" to which you should only ever answer within the smallest window of time possible, and while excluding past events as much as possible. Past that point but before you are arrested, invoking the 5th can now be used against you in a court of law, thanks to the supreme court, so you must invoke the 6th and wait for an attorney until you are either A) released, or B) arrested. Once your rights have been read you are able to invoke the 5th as well as continue invoking the 6th until you receive legal counsel. You should literally never speak to the police or answer their questions. Chances are that if they're questioning you, you're a suspect, in which case, the courts can decide the merits of your innocence or guilt.
