“Never talk to the police”
I’ve watched that show on TV called “48 Hours” where they try to solve murder of LaTrey in 48 hours. Usually, they talk to a few people who say Jamal and LaTrey had an argument the day before, so they locate and pick up Jamal, and Jamal confesses without a lawyer. Before the confession, the detectives had NOTHING.
Years ago, I met a prison guard and asked him what most of his inmates were in prison for. He answered, "Talking."
Yeah ...
