Too many people seem to think that refusing to answer questions without an attorney present indicates a person's guilt. This mentality needs to change. The police are not your friends.

Invoking your RIGHTS is not an indication of guilt. It's an indication of intelligence!

[@GAMEGUYXXGAMEGUYXXOFFICIAL]

It really depends on the country you reside in, to be fair. In the USA yes you have certain rights under the constitution such as pleading the fifth amendment so as not to self incriminate, and the fact that a jury is not allowed to determine culpability based solely on a person's decision to not answer police questions and remain silent. In places like the UK, these are not present. The jury is allowed to consider choosing to not answer questions during interrogation when deciding culpability on points of law, and there is no protection against self incrimination.

[@GAMEGUYXXGAMEGUYXXOFFICIAL]

@@enchantedharlot The police in the UK aren't allowed to tell you that they have more evidence than they actually have, or tell you that if you confess there will be leniency if there actually won't be any leniency, however there's no law about lying by omission. Police can and will withhold the nature of what they actually have on you during an interview because oftentimes not knowing how much evidence they have against you makes the criminal more worried and easier to crack. And yes, you can't interview a minor without a legal guardian present because they aren't deemed fully able to advocate for themselves in terms of knowing how to ask for a lawyer etc, this is also the case for the USA, however the exact legal technicalities about interviewing minors varies depending on the state obviously.

It's a possibility he was more outspoken and received most of the abuse while the younger brothers learn that being introverted leads to less abuse. Personal experience I'm the younger brother and my older brother was more outspoken and received more abuse than me so I subconsciously became more introverted growing up. He killed himself at 16 years old. I can't help but empathize if this is the case,. But I do not excuse or believe he shouldn't be prosecuted. Hopefully we keep improving our mental health research in the future to prevent this.

[@AhMyGawd777]

PSA: As soon as a cop/detective/interrogator tells you something like "I think that you killed your family" as it was in this case, you IMMEDIATELY ask for a lawyer and shut your mouth. It doesn't matter if you're innocent, guilty, either way, it's something that you absolutely need to do. This absolutely can't be stressed enough, this is the moment that you 100% know you're a suspect and when you're innocent and you don't do this, it's an extremely slippery slope where you could face some serious problems and even possibly wrongly convicted if you miss speak or slip up on some things, no matter how small those slip ups may seem to you at the time. You'll *likely* be extremely anxious and stressed and it can be so so easy to make a mistake. It wont make you seem more suspicious, at least not to anyone that matters during trial. Regardless, If you're worried about it making you seem suspicious then something along the lines of 'This is getting out of hand, I had nothing to do with this, I am requesting a/my lawyer, and I will no longer be kindly cooperating as I was, I plead the 5th' is the best course of action.

Am I the only only one that felt bothered that they used tactics so that one of the boys wouldn't ask for an attorney as like having an attorney would be bad for the case? I mean, I dont like the criminals but I hate those pig cops that think like that.

[@ArseneGray]

@@LeonardoGPN You are right it just seems off. There is no reason not to put an attorney automatically when a serious crime and juveniles are involved. Their need of manipulating teenagers to hinder them from getting an attorney shows you hot much afraid they are that they wont solve this crime. Tbh, aside confessions they dont have anything to go with. You cannot arrest a teenager because they found keys under his matress.

[@mrskellybones4514]

why would you comment that of a video where the kid is clearly guilty

[@rotagbhd]

@@mrskellybones4514 Why would you make such a dumb comment where 3 innocent children were subjected to incriminating themselves in something to which they are innocent? Cops CAN and WILL use ANYTHING you say AGAINST you. They are not old enough to fully understand. You think a 15 year old is mentally ripe enough to be subjected to the word-games, lies and psyops used by trained professionals whose sole purpose is to elicit guilt, not innocence, even from innocent people? You're an idiot. Every minor should have a lawyer by default, ABSOLUTELY.

[@thequickthepointless695]

I agree! I know the kid is guilty..but he had no family and was interrogated by the police. He should have had someone with him. Just to be known I think he is guilty. I’m just wondering about the people who were not guilty and we’re interrogated!

[@Lillylee2599]

I've learned from watching these videos is that if you scratch your face or arm you are nervous and it means you are being deceptive!

[@benrosie4456]

As a very new father (11 months), it hit me so fucking hard that Greg was called by his brother to open the back door. He just wanted to make his older brother happy. There’s a real evil in emotional detachment because you can make an 11 year old boy an accessory to his own damn murder. Hits me like a fucking brick.

What I learned from this - if ever questioned by the cops, regardless how innocent you are, sit stock still with your hands in your lap and don't utter a word, except to say " I want a lawyer". That this cop can lie to and subtely manipulate these minors without any lawyer or guardian present is very disturbing.

In some way it's so typical for lawyers, police officers, soldiers, even judges... to have troublesome kids that lack a sense of conscience and think they can outsmart everyone.

Like yeah, I'm actually kinda surprised this is even admissible in the US.

very judgmental as often when someone is in shock has the impression to watch a movie instead of living their life being a self-protecting mechanism to keep your brain sane, So you and 2 detectives and no one can really tell anything because someone does not cry.

When my dog died, it hit me hard but on the outside when others are around me I never did shed a single tear. But internally, I WAS hurting, and if anyone told me otherwise I'd be pissed. Nevertheless, you would never know I lost my dog unless I told you. In private I eventually did emote but it took some time to finally emote after bottling everything up. That is how I handle loss, you'd never see my cry at a funeral regardless of how much it hurts me. What annoys me is people like you would think I am some sick killer or awful person in general because I don't act the way you subjectively think I am supposed to.

I'm just saying that his demeanor, laughing and smiling the whole time, suddenly changing to crying a bit after saying *and i quote* "So crying would make you believe me?" was creepy to me. I don't usually cry or show emotion in front of people either. I haven't physically cried for death in a long time. I wouldn't think you were "some sick killer or awful person in general" for not acting the way *you think* i expect you to. I even said that maybe shock wore off and the situation finally it hit him. And I never said that I thought that there was a set certain way to express emotion.
