I don't see how people can't understand this. Even a simple denial of guilt can work against you. Even if you are as innocent and pure as the driven snow, you keep your trap shut and call a shark, it's what they do. Even for a stupid traffic ticket. "Do you know how fast you were going?" Don't answer it if you plan to contest it.
The police are there to charge you, it's their job. They will lie, promise, twist and play mind games with you... same with anyone working for the State. I squirm when I'm watching cops on TV and hear a cop "tell me the truth and I'll work with you"... they fall for it every dang time and without fail, are in the back of a car in cuffs. That's what they mean when they promise to work with you and be fair. It also drives me absolutely crazy watching people instantly consent to searches. Making mountains from mole hills makes for good resume material, it's their job...

4). " officer, I don't feel good, my chest hurts and I'm having trouble breathing.... COUGH COUGH, Please call an ambulance for me!" ( then have your attorney (you should have on speed dial if your CCW instructor worth a damn) meet you at hospital after your heart attack turns out to be an acute anxiety attack.
There is chatter in the CCW realm that the injustice in this case (if no new evidence) increasing the chance of normal law abiding citizens to revive the illegal/immoral concept of carrying a "drop gun" or "drop knife" to prevent over zealous prosecution. Im ashamed that I even have to say that, but this is a country I am starting not to recognize anymore!

See my reply above. Always good to be seen as a victim, up to and including ambulance ride. It buys time to cool down, let your SNS system get working again, and hopefully your lawyer to get to the hospital.

He's better off with a second-degree murder charge than a manslaughter charge because by no stretch of the imagination could it be second-degree murder.
It's a slam-dunk acquittal.

Oh yeah, that is a good one. The DA wants a live subject, not a heart attack victim. I had to learn my lesson the hard way, and it cost me a fair amount of treasure.

I think the pressure got to him: having to be on the run all the time and not having freedom of movement. I think Mr. Zimmerman thought if he called the prosecutor he could tell his side of the story and it’d be over, and that’s what caused his former legal counsel to jump ship. He walked into the lion’s mouth and any bargaining chips they’d planned on disappeared.
