My advice is always the same – NEVER EVER give a statement to the police or submit to a polygraph test. Police train in interrogation techniques that include lying, coercion, persuasion and minimization which induce false confessions. A study has shown that whenever a confession was involved, every juror voted guilty, regardless of alibis and fingerprint evidence. We need judicial rules “requiring the videotaping of all interrogations, setting time limits on interviews, and making it illegal to lie to a suspect.”
