> When faced correcting a false reality you have created, it can be quite hard to decide to phase change into telling the truth. The lies that come out come from not being prepared and not being a very good liar. For people who lie like this, a good way to think about it is as though it were a disease.
Or just don’t talk to the police and lawyer up. I agree the best thing is to not do the crime, but if you are a criminal then the intelligent and simple thing is to use a lawyer.
- duped 5y agoEven if you're not guilty the intelligent and simple thing is to politely decline to speak to the investigators and consult an attorney.
- trelane 5y agoIndeed. In my understanding, the authorities have the depth of training and the experience to easily talk us regular folks in circles and catch us in contradictions. Especially if you're innocent: lawyer up.
- staticassertion 5y agoHaving a lawyer doesn't mean you can just not answer questions when subpoenad. "Don't talk to cops" is complicated.
- krisoft 5y agoYes, it is complicated. And that is why you need the lawyer.
- staticassertion 5y agoI missed where it said he didn't have a lawyer?
- jfrunyon 5y agoIf you've been subpoenaed, you're not talking to a cop, so "don't talk to cops" isn't complicated at all. The full phrase - "don't talk to cops except upon the advice of your lawyer" - isn't complicated either.
