According to Dr. James Duane, (and confirmed by co-speaker Officer George Bruch), you should never talk to the police.  Be you innocent, guilty, lying or as honest as the day is long, these two say in no uncertain terms: DON&#8217;T SPEAK!  <\/p>\n<p>So, what <em>should<\/em> you do?  Dr. J says you&#8217;re best off waiting for the case to find it&#8217;s way into court, with a jury and a judge, (the way the law intended), or wait for the case against you to die and ultimately disappear.  He had some strong arguments, so I present this to you here, and welcome any feedback or additional perspectives on this.  Do you agree?  Disagree?
