I don't like to talk to you guys if I'm not in trouble and haven't done anything wrong.

 I'm no defense atty, but I figger the less talkin ya do the better.  

(Until ya sees YER atty of coors)

 Hell noooo!

No.... I would definitely not talk to a reporter. It seems the more you say the deeper you dig your hole.

Drew Peterson continues to talk to reporters ...bad move!

 So they smoked some weed so they could come up with an intelligence story......What a bunch of dummies..Hang em high...............

 Didja see Drew on with Greta?

Priceless!

The guy thinks he can woo any woman!

Not crooked face squaw (greta von sistern) though!

He shoulda known better!

The man is an idiot...............

 No, I wouldn't talk to any reporters.  Seems to make things worse. Wait to get an attorney and I'm sure the attorneys advice would be to shut up.

 What a sad story.  As for me, I'd talk to the press. 

 First off, these guys had already confessed to the police before they were booked into jail, so it wasn't like it was the first time they had told their story. I saw them interviewed on the TV news the other night and they both seemed semi-mentally retarded.

And catpaw, you took the words right out of my mouth with the first comment...

 they both seemed semi-mentally retarded.

You gotta be kiddin me!

 OB, thats funny!! I thought they were 'off' when I seen them on the news as well.

I wouldn't talk to anyone, about anything.

My question is why request the interview? You must have known dude did not have an attorney/legal advice and nothing in the story would help him.

Don't get me wrong, he and any other defendant, are stupid to talk to the press, but it's almost like ambulance chasing to go down to the jail and interviewing these guys who don't know any better than to talk to you. Part of the prosecutors job is done by you.

*You being the media...it's never personal :)

I kinda think it is wrong for the media to question a murder suspect.....especially a "slow murder suspect"

The media should have to read you your rights also....after all they are acting like cops/prosecutors......

You know I have figured something out. If you don't talk to the cops or reporters more than likely you will walk. I watch the show First 48. The majority of all of their crimes are solved by people tattling on themselves and each other.

If and when they file charges on the other dumb Peterson his media appearances will be the nails in his coffin.

 timec, every time I start missing the ghetto dwellers, I watch The First 48 too. Kinda brings back fond memories...

 My question is why request the interview? 

Well, its kinda like Obama thinking he so damn eloequent and smart he could tell all the red necks in fly-over country that they only  "cling" to God and Guns when they're hurtin (or PO'd at Bushco).

Some people figger they can charm the pants off'n anyone.

Sometimes they are left with no pants.

 How many smart criminals are there?  We will probably see them on the "Worlds Dumbest Criminals".  I missed the intervew.  Are they really slow or is this your sense of humor?

 No, they really seemed to be a few cans short of a 12 pack....

 Vwilroy-it was quite apparent they were slow. Not OB's humor this time, lol!!

Not during the tragic miscarriage of justice that got me arrested,,,but definitely after my exoneration! LOL Seriously,no.

 But remember OB, half the people you know are below average..... ;=)

 My view is tilted because I'm a reporter, but here it is.

If I were arrested, yes, I'd talk to the press, because I'm not a criminal.

If I were arrested, the police would announce their version of what happened and why I was in jail, and I would not want the people who put me in jail being the only ones speaking about why I was there.

Being slow is going to work in their favor at this point.

OB

I love that show. Someone is making money over youngsters dying over b/s....only in America.  It does kind of remind me of the hood. I love the name of the housing projects in Miami..."pork "n" bean projects"

How many smart criminals are there?

We'll never know the answer to that one I'm afraid. The really smart ones we don't even know are criminals........

Until after the impeachment trial.

 Dream on MF

I mean RF

There are a bunch of smart criminals.....Haven't you guys ever seen the show Masterminds? They give these dudes reduced sentences to tell the cops how they comitted the crime. It is pretty interesting....

Ah, and 'tis such a pleasant dream, CS, I mean CE. 

 James, what you say makes sense on paper, but wouldn't you rather have the public think you are a criminal, but remain silent and give your attorney a chance to mount a defense? For example, if Vincent Brothers would have talked to the police or the media, his crack attorneys would not have been able to put him on the stand and let him lie about being the driver of the car involved in the accident back east.

Besides, whoever was covering the court beat for TBC would surely portray you in a positive light in any articles they wrote. I have never seen TBC write an article slanted to mislead the readers, so why start with you?

How'd Obama end up in this post? Only those with an agenda pretend they don't know what he was saying.

citybeat, I'm not a criminal either, but that doesn't mean that I'll never end up in a jail cell. If I were ever accused, the next to last person I'd speak to is someone from the media. There is no upside to telling a reporter anything. It's best to talk in court, so nothing is taken out of context or used against me.

 If I committed a crime I would never talk about it to ANYONE, ever!  I would never talk to the police, to the media, my family or my friends.  I wouldn't even tell my attorney anything except the bare bones of my alibi and defense.  I've seen The First 48 too, Timec.  How those detectives get those idiots to confess time and time again is beyond me.  Even if I were falsely accused, I wouldn't talk.  But then, idiots who confess save court time and taxpayer money.
