More evidence that Rule #1 should never be violated.
If you ever use your firearm in self defense, no matter how justified you believe you may be, NEVER talk to the cops without a lawyer at your side. If Zimmerman had immediately exercised his 5th amendment rights it’s unlikely that we’d even have known about this outside of Sanford.
That advise applies to talking to cops 100% of the time! Even with a little ol' traffic ticket!
The prosecutor is going to go after Zim as a liar because he gave contradictory statements.
A person should be as polite as possible when speaking to the police officer. Simply state the fact that you will not make any statements without a lawyer present!
That’s the number one rule of the practice of criminal law: “don’t p**s off the judge”. George failed that step.
