Re: miranda rights
Yes. A suspect can always stop making statements or answering questions. In Texas, a recitation of a person's constitutional rights should end with the fact that a person may stop answering questions at any time. Except for what is commonly termed "the seven booking questions," it is never a good idea to answer any questions relevant to criminal investigation without first consulting an attorney. Many officers will counter a request to stop answering questions without an attorney by intimating that innocent people don't need an attorney. Don't fall for this. Some people run off at the mouth for fear that asking for an attorney will make them look guilty. Its a whol lot better to "look" guilty than be convicted on the strength of a statement made under stress. Stop talking! Get a lawyer!
