[Birch T. Barlow]

The police knew they were breaking the law.

Is requesting the suspect take you to the murder weapon and write an apology letter considered interrogating? If so, then the police should not be talking with the suspect until the defense attorney arrives. Once the defense attorney arrives, the police know full well they aren't going to hear another peep from the person arrested.

The cops know the rules. If the cops think they can break the rules then break the cops.
