Well. Some rich people always have a lawyer ready lol Plus as much crime material that I watch daily.. they always say to NEVER speak to the police unless you have a lawyer present. Guilty ir not. But especially if you are innocent Because there are way too many people in prison that are actually innocent because of them using any small detail against them. If you get one detail mixed up, even if by pure accident, they will use it against you. That being said. I haven't watched this case yet. Just really starting to watch the evidence here. But I just find it odd when cops or the audience says. "If they lawyered up. That means they're Guilty" And if they don't talk. That means they're Guilty When that's exactly what they tell you is the best thing to do. Like the American nightmare case. They acted like they were both guilty for instantly getting a lawyer .. their name was ran thru the dirt in the media and public And they were innocent. Crazy But. For this case. Yea they're definitely guilty So doesn't have anything to do with what I said. I just read your comment and it made me think of that case and what's always said
