Brian Laundrie’s parents are not likely to face criminal charges in connection with Gabby Petito’s disappearance and suspected death, law-enforcement experts told The Post on Monday, citing the difficulty in building any potential case against them.
Christopher and Roberta Laundrie have kept mum since Petito was reported missing Sept. 11, even barring cops from speaking to their lawyered-up son, who has since vanished himself.
The sensational case took a tragic turn Sunday when a body “consistent” with Petito’s description was found at Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming.

That is true:
1. When the client is in fact guilty, and will have to either incriminate themselves, or lie.
2. When there is reason to believe the investigators are acting in bad faith. See, e.g., all the cases where the FBI secretly subpoenas a person's email, text messages, and telephone records, studies them for months, then shows up at their door at 6:00 a.m. and wants to ask a few questions. They aren't trying to discover anything about the contents, or sequence, of the communications -- they already know everything. They are trying to get the befuddled target to make, or agree to, an off the cuff but demonstrably untrue statement about some trivial detail of communications that happened years before, so that the target may be indicted for lying to a federal officer.
3. Other, fact based, situations.
If the client did not do it, or if the client did it, but what was done was not criminal, then speaking to law enforcement, with counsel, with appropriate ground rules, such as knowing what the questioning will be about, so that the client, and counsel, have an opportunity to review the records law enforcement is looking at, is often the best thing the attorney can advise the client to do.

You know her past?

DJ,
Thank you for pointing that out. It’s liberal leftists that are the problem, not “Damn Yankees”...
Trust me I’m not extrapolating. Try reading their other posts. Definitely over the top on the stupid “redneck” responses to persons from the North... It’s the Liberals that are the problem, not “Yankees”. Geez...
“ The thing that bothers me the most with today’s zeitgeist is the complete ignorance and/or abandonment of principles like assumption of innocence, right to a fair trial, facing your accusers, right to remain silent, and so on. This stuff was drilled into me in the 8th grade, but it seems like it is no longer taught. They are taught that mob mentality rules. I am developing a real disdain for public schools and public school teachers. They are gleefully ushering in the end of our republic.”

Well, whoever drilled into you in the 8th grade didn’t make the proper separations when explaining our Judicial System.
“Mob Mentalities” happen. It’s a human trait.
So the Founders knew this and put in safe guards in order to hold fair trials.
The presumed innocent principle isn’t for the people, it’s for the Government. It’s the way the accused are to be viewed by the Courts, the Judiciary.
It doesn’t mean the general public must hold no opinion.
Just like a speedy trial, it’s for the Courts.
Facing your accuser, that’s in our Constitution also.
The thing you learned in the 8th pertain to the way the Courts handle criminal laws.
Not how the general public must not have an opinion.
I think the punk is guilty as sin. I can do that without violating the perps Constitutional Rights as I’m not the Prosecutor or the Judge.
We have Freedom to express our opinions, the Courts are the ones that need to be impartial. Not me.
Now if the accused want a Jury Trial, there is jury selection where impartial jurors are selected and agreed upon.
If an impartial jury can’t be found, the Judge who is in charge of protecting the accused Constitutional Rights can order a change in venue.
That way, it doesn’t matter what I think, or say, but I can still think it and say it.
You’re welcome! :-)
“Perhaps you don’t have an issue with domestic violence but most normal people do indeed.
Perhaps you don’t like pretty young woman (numerous rejections perhaps?) and think they deserve to die at their partners will, but normal people certainly do have a serious problem with any murder.
It’s apparent this case and these type of Threads are showing us the aggressive side of people where murder is subjective if she “Steps out of Line”.
Disgusting.”
You must need a whole LOT of drugs and booze to come to those conclusions from my post.
Everything here is based on broad schizophrenic assumptions and zero facts from your post.
Assumptions range from “rejection” LOL (Happily married thank you very much), to murder.
I deal with your type all the time - lying pieces of filth.
“Mob Mentalities” happen. It’s a human trait.”
Are you actually defending mob rule?
The parents of the missing young lady likely got some advice on how to make the case of their missing daughter go national. Nothing wrong with that. It led to some vacationers to review their cell phone videos that placed a time stamp on the whereabouts of the missing van ..
“Trust me I’m not extrapolating. Try reading their other posts. Definitely over the top on the stupid “redneck” responses to persons from the North... It’s the Liberals that are the problem, not “Yankees”. Geez...”
I skimmed three pages of their posts. Only reference was a one time mention of New Yorkers. And you demonize rednecks. Sheez. At least some of us down here know when to NOT use double quotes.
“Are you actually defending mob rule?”
ROTFLMAO!
“Are you actually defending mob rule?”
So lacking an educated response you try to twist his post. He stated “mob mentality” and said the constitution and courts were safeguards from mob mentality.
Improper use of double-quotes noted.
You may not have absorbed what I was saying.
I was endorsing the way our present Justice System is.
Mob Mentality and Mob Rule are two different things.
Regardless, both of those are a human trait.
To make sure those traits are not involved in our Justice System, the Founders included Rights and Procedures.
As I outlined in post # 127.
Your point was that you learned in the 8th grade that people are innocent until proven guilty, etc. etc.
I was pointing out that Policy and other protocols and Rights are for the Courts and Judicial System.
The general public can and do judge people before or without a trial but the Court maintains the accusers rights regardless of public sediment.
But your focus is on Mob Rule so I can’t help you.
“You may not have absorbed what I was saying.”
Most likely he did. His his pale attempt to twist your meaning.
Some people come here looking for something to disagree with, something that they can debate.
They yearn for mental stimulation.
I usually don’t play but sometimes I can’t tell right away. LOL
But the way they have conducted themselves stinks to high heaven. If they were acquaintances of mine I would not have anything more to do with them.
I was using “redneck” to prove a point... Looks like it worked.
