I don’t really know how to break my commitment to these police since I agreed to sit and talk with them.
Considering I got talked to three days after it happened, I feel like I am just the beginning of their foot work and I may not be someone they are trying to stick a charge to.
I’m going to talk to them, and I don’t know how to get a lawyer on short notice.
I’ll probably just write up a document on my relationship with the victim, give it to them and then leave. .[/quote]
You don’t break a commitment to the police… you’re a fucking murder suspect. LAWYER.
Under the circumstances, you CAN and SHOULD be able to get a LAWYER on short notice…
You don’t just send them a note and pass it to them and leave!!! LOL!! LAWYER.

Please. Fuck his committment. If they want him, they know how to find him. Simply call them and tell them given the gravity of the situation, you will not be interviewed without a lawyer present and you are in the process of retaining one.
OP, a lawyer is not going to cost you 12 grand. We’re talking maybe an hour lawyer time for you to be interviewed, which can be conducted AT YOUR LAWYER’S OFFICE. You’re not charged with anything, and you have NO OBLIGATION to go anywhere or meet with ANYONE.
I’m an attorney, and I’m going to say DON’T get a lawyer for two reasons.

Don’t be a damn fool. Get a lawyer.
Get a lawyer and actually listen to them.

$410k a year with no living expenses! What a sweet gig. Of course there is that whole ass-rape thing, but one should be able to learn to live with it.

Rohnyn, you have come up with a ridiculous array of posts since coming to these boards. I am finding it hard to believe even half of them.

Quoted for 100% truth.
Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever speak to the police. Ever. They can’t compel you to speak, speaking to them never does any good, ever.
Don’t even open the fucking door if they’re knocking. If they have a warrant they’ll tell you or they’ll just break the door down.
I am a police constable and in my experience I would suggest that if you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to be concerned about. You don’t need to waste your money on a lawyer when you have had no involvement in this incident. Murder investigations are often very complex and there will be dozens of people spoken to who have no involvement in the incident. This is because as a police officer you never know who will be able to provide some insight into the situation without speaking to everyone who knows this guy.
Just because they are asking you questions doesn’t mean you are a suspect. I don’t know where you are from, but in Canada, prior to an interview with a suspect the police must provide the individual with an opportunity to speak with a lawyer and explain to them that they have no responsibility to say anything. I don’t know how it works in the USA, but I would assume it is similar as in Canada.
It looks to me as if you are just being spoken to in an attempt to determine if you can provide any information that could assist with the investigation. I would suggest to you that you tell the truth and not worry about the issue.
Now, this is the story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I’d like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air
So you’re a suspect in a murder investigation and your first inclination is to post about it on T-Nation rather than talk to a lawyer?
Yeah… You killed him and he, for some reason, had 12,000$(selling drugs, probably), which you then took and now you have no idea how to spend/invest them.

lol. The truth and the law have no relation, sir.
I just talked with a lawyer, who I am conferencing with after I get off work tonight. He said it would be $600 he estimated, just to meet up and prepare for the situation, prepare a written statement, and sit in with me for the questioning.
Do you guys think this is a decent price?
Well do know any lawyers who operate at 6pm at night?
Every murder case lawyer works 24 hours a day.

Disassemble the gun and get rid of the pieces in multiple locations. Burn all of your clothes and shoes. Wash your body and hair multiple times with a harsh liquid to remove all traces of gun shot residue. Don’t forget to do under your nails. For christ sakes stop using his cell phone and credit cards. When asked say “What $12,000.00?” You should also get rid of the Gameboy Advance. If you want you can send the money and Gameboy to me. PM me I’ll give you a P.O. Box #. I’ll hold on to them for you until you’re through this. Good Luck.

Depends … how much would you spend to keep your anal virginity?

never talk to cops in any situation without a lawyer present. who knows, you could have already fucked up. There was a video posted here about a year ago about some chief of police or someone along those lines. Anyways, he was talking to a college class and even he admitted to never talk to police without a lawyer present. He said cops will try and trick you and even the smallest mistake or misunderstanding on your part could completely fuck you over.[/quote]
This is the first thing you learn in a Criminal Procedure class in law school.
