Guilty until proven innocent, Nage?

Likewise, if you are guilty and Law Enforcement can prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Lawyer's not going to be much good except to maybe cut a deal.

I made a powerful statement in a previous threat, but I think to some I made it too powerful, so I shall re-iterate a toned-down version of it here: I would rather let ten murderers walk free than see one innocent person wrongly convicted.

If someday in the future I happen to find myself in the unfortunate position of an interrogation room because I happen to match the description of a homicide suspect, and I'm not permitted to have an attorney with me in the interrogation room, I would fully invoke my right to remain silent if I felt the questions being asked of me were intended to tie me to whatever evidence they already had.
