Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

An investigator came to my home and asked me a few questions about my fiancee who is in county jail. Do I have to write a statement? Can what I already said be used against me even though I didnt sign a statement?

You are under no obligation to answer any questions nor provide any oral or written statement to any member of law enforcement at any time.

Anything you voluntarily say to a member of law enforcement can and will be used against you or your fianc�e.

In the future, you should consult with local counsel prior to speaking with law enforcement personnel.

Good luck!
