Yes, I think hiring a lawyer would also increase your chances if they can push the police towards continuing to investigate all possibilities (such as interviewing witnesses or testing all the samples as they failed to do in this case) or make them less likely to lie to you (as they did in this case about the lie detector test results).
- joshstrange 4y agoI think a lot of people think "only guilty people/criminals ask for lawyers" (thanks largely TV shows and movies that show cops that never make mistakes and only criminals not cooperating) and/or think "If they just hear my side they will understand and agree with me". In a really gross way I think that getting a lawyer might make you look less attractive to the cops (harder to pin it on you now) and force them to look elsewhere along with your other points of using your lawyer as way to push the investigation on their own. Remember, most cops are looking for the path of least resistance, not the truth.
