That is quite the loaded headline. If you read other accounts it merely states that she has hired an attorney and she will be interviewed when he arranges it. And why shouldn't she keep mum for the moment???
The off-duty cop didn't talk to "investigators" on his own. This is from an earlier article:
"Poorman said the officer was interviewed at the Oceanside police station with his attorney, a peer support officer and his supervisor."
So for anyone saying, "what's she got to hide"???? Well what does the cop have to hide that he needs his attorney, a peer support officer, and his supervisor to help him with his statement for???? Shouldn't he just describe what happened, his wife was in the car with him, she would certainly back him up since it turns out that she works as a dispatcher for the Carlsbad PD.
And why didn't they take his statement immediately??? How long did it take for him to round up his attorney, a peer support officer, which I assume had to come all the way from San Diego 35+ miles away, and his Supervisor, also all the way from San Diego 35+ miles away, at 10:00 pm on a Saturday??? Wouldn't it seem better to take his statement at the scene before he had hours to possibly conjure up a story???
If she doesn’t I don’t blame her.
My feeling is that they are not really chomping at the bit to talk to her. In other words, they are still trying to work up a stoty to clear the cop.
But if I was her, when I did talk to them my lawyer would be there.
