Interesting. I knew of a criminal defense attorney who carefully trained all his children and wife and his office staff into how to control all emotions and say only a few sentences with a dead flat affect:
I know nothing about this matter,
I do not recall anything about (a) this matter, (b) this person
I do not have to answer any of your questions based on my rights in the 5th amendment of the Constitution of the USA.
Am I being held for violating any law or committing any criminal action?
(If answer is yes)
Under the laws of this state, city, etc and the US you must state to me at this time what reason or offense am I being held for.
I demand my right for legal council and refuse to say any more until counsel is appointed and I may meet with council
Absolute stillness of the whole body and face was emphasized along with a cold state and a flat slow low speech pattern.
The lawyer taught that while cops know you know something or are guilty they are wasting their time to try and entrap you or get you to say anything.

Am I being held for any crime or offence?
If I am not I demand to be released
That attorney wasn’t wrong.
