Re: not allowed my attorney
Well, it seems that you KNEW you shouldn't talk and shouldn't give a statement and did it anyway??? Why would you do that???
The answer to your question is, after they told you that you weren't allowed to leave, you were in custody, and should have been afforded your rights, including your right to an attorney.
