Having been accused of a serious crime I didn't commit I *would* get myself a lawyer and have him/her present during any questioning.However,I *would* answer all questions put to me *regardless* of any advice my lawyer might give.I'd also give them my fingerprints,DNA,computers,phone records,etc,etc...despite any advice my lawyer might provide.
OTOH,if I'm guilty I don't say a word to the cops or turn over *anything* to them without my lawyer's approval....or a court order.
Absolutely no disrespect intended. But what’s your reasoning? I’m curious. And, I daresay, educatable.
