Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

Re: Criminal investigation process?

It is almost always a terrible idea to speak to the cops without an experienced attorney at your side. Doing so usually results in assisting the cop that is trying to put you in jail.

I STRONGLY recommend that you quit continuing to do damage to yourself. Contact an aggressive, tough lawyer right away.

Re: Criminal investigation process?

You can ask the detective why he is making this request. My guess is that, after submitting the charge request to the prosecutor, the prosecutor had some issues/questions that he/she wanted followed-up on.

You are under NO obligation to talk to the police, or to take a polygraph.

As the first answer suggested, you would be wise to consult with a criminal defense attorney first, and if you wanted to takl to police or take the polygraph your attorney should accompany you to help protect your rights.

Re: Criminal investigation process?

The detective doesn't have enough evidence to convince the prosecutor to issue a warrant for your arrest. He's probably very friendly and sympathetic and is urging you to tell your side of the story so that you can finally vindicate yourself.

He won't make you feel threatened or uncomfortable while he just clears up a few more details and minor inconsistencies - nothing to worry about. He's not worried, but you should be.

Compare yourself to a lobster happily relaxing in a pot of increasingly warmer water without a care in the world until.......Oh! Oh! You're cooked!

Get a lawyer!

Re: Criminal investigation process?

You should retain a criminal lawyer immediately before talking to any officers or investigators and definitely do NOT take a polygraph. This is how innocent people get convicted - they don't get an attorney and say or something that incriminates them or gives the police cause to investigate further and pursue charges.
