Not true, according to a law professor’s lecture and also a investigative cop at the same lecture (also lecturing the students).
Quick answer is — not guilty *or* guilty — *never* answer any questions, period!! (unless you’re extremely *stupid*...)

I argue that the only way you can be convincted of a crime from your statements without having committed a crime is for you to be wrongfully convicted. That can happen, I guess. But it can also happen without you saying anything. Anyway, that’s what we have lawyers, presumption of innocence, due process, judges, appeals, and various other rights to guard against.
