Absolutely superb televsion

[Okla-homey]

This episode of "Frontline," presumably aired by your local PBS affiliate, should be required viewing in every law school, prosecutors office and police department in the U.S. And anyone who is of the opinion that people who didn't do the crime would never confess to doing it.

Mind-blowing prosecutorial and police misconduct by the Norfolk (VA) P.D. and Norfolk D.A. that destroyed the lives of four Navy sailors. And just another example of why you should never agree to police questioning without your counsel. Ever.

I don't know if there are any similarities, but The Thin Blue Line was an outstanding film.

Have not seen the show, but "Mind-blowing prosecutorial and police misconduct" do happen. READ THIS AGAIN: you should never agree to police questioning without your counsel. Ever.

Shouldn't you guys be out leeching off the producers in society and wanting to be like Michelle Obama?

I watched part of it while watching the Thunder game. Amazing how heartless some people are.

OMG. public broadcasting!

Frontline does a lot of good stuff, though it's overloaded with Baby Boomer "do gooder" nonsense about telling everyone else how to live.

but, the latter is kind of Homey's wheelhouse....:D

People classically think that if they cooperate and are forthcoming at the police interview, they can talk their way out of the situation. Especially when they didn't do the thing they are suspected of doing. Never works.

^^ this.
Police will tell you things like if you give them a statment they will personally talk to the DA and Judge and ask them to let you off light. They will then deny, under oath in court, that such a statement was made.

If the police want to question you, go with the military answer, name rank and serial number, and then the statement, "I want a lawyer before I am questioned and I do not want to answer any questions." Kind of a magic phrase that legally ends all questioning. Having made that statement to the police, STFU!!!

That is sure the way it's supposed to work. But in at least one of these sailors' case, he asked for a lawyer to which the interviewing cop retorted, "only the guilty lawyer-up" and shamed him into continuing. He ended-up spending 14 years in the Virginia pen, after his parents mortgaged their home to pay the $40K for his defense at trial.

SHHHHHHH!

What do you think they're doing here? This is all part of the democratic lawyers party's "socialist scheme to marginalize America"...don't you see? "Frontline"?..."PBS"?..."talk to your lawyer"??? GAH!

MOVE ALONG FOLKS! NOTHING TO SEE HERE!!!

I will keep that in mind...

The cops at that point aren't your friends, they want evidence to file a charge. They will do anything to get that evidence. DA wants to win, no matter what. A win is a person in jail and votes their way.

It is what we have, but I don't think it to be blind like people want us to think.

[Frozen Sooner]

You people with your 6th Amendment technicalities letting murderers get away...

[stoopified]

No speaky English
