Before speaking to police , talk to a lawyer first. I don't know how many times in my career as a criminal defense attorney that I see those accused of a crime that speak to police without advice from an attorney. One perfect example is a murder case here in Nashville ,Tn where there was no evidence linking the defendant to the crime. He spoke to the police officers where he confessed. He spent several years in jail until the Tennessee Supreme court threw out his confession and released him from prison. The case is State of Tennessee vs. Dailey. I will discuss the opinion this week on confessions and Miranda warnings.
