Should People Be Forced to Provide Info to the Police They Know About in a Minnesota Criminal Case? Court TV Video
Watch Jack’s Interview on Court TV
We have the right to remain silent and not to implicate ourselves to the police. This is your 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination. However, what happens if the victims believe you have information that could help? Could they sue you for not providing that information? What happens if the police can't compel you to speak but then go the the victims and suggest they sue to compel it? Does that change the question?
"Saying nothing is one thing. Saying something else knowing what you know could open up a whole other can of worms."
Jack Rice, a nationally known Minnesota based criminal defense attorney appears on Court TV with Judge Ashley Willcott on 6/22/22 to discuss the right to remain silent versus what happens if you actually say something. The implications for silence are certainly being tested. This question is tied to the Petito case in which they are suing the Laundrie family for what the family know about the alleged murder of the Petito daughter by the Laundrie son.
If you are facing serious criminal charges in Minnesota, the right to silence is important. If fact, it is so important that Jack wants to give you a free piece of advice:
"You have the right to remain silence. Exercise that right. Shut your mouth and call the best criminal defense attorney you can find."
