I will be starting a new blog series for the next week or so with the simple title as above - "don't talk."
I have posted before about the dangers of speaking to authorities, Federal or State, without an attorney present. If you are invited to speak to a U.S. attorney, a district attorney, the police, the FBI, the CIA or for that matter, to a dogcatcher, my advice is always the same:
DON'T SPEAK TO ANYONE WITHOUT SPEAKING TO AN ATTORNEY FIRST, PREFERABLY AN ATTORNEY WHO HAS A BACKGROUND AND EXPERTISE IN CRIMINAL LAW AND/OR WHITE-COLLAR CRIMINAL DEFENSE
It is worth revisiting this issue because of the tragic events in Boston recently. The surviving terrorism suspect was being interviewed by various Federal agencies. He was then appointed counsel and stopped speaking to the police. Various news outlets express outrage at this. But why?
This is the heart of these next series of posts.
And, incidentally, I have stopped using Roman numerals to outline my posts. Although I am a big fan of the Romans and their legacy to Western civilization, let's face it - higher mathematics was not one of their contributions.
