It goes deeper than anecdotal "I wish my client hadn't said anything", there are concrete reasons for this advice. For example, according to rules of evidence, any exculpatory statements you make to police are hearsay and therefore cannot be mentioned in a trial. The police _can_, however, try to use that information against you and then use information derived from your original statement at trial. There's a pretty popular lecture[0] on this. It covers a lot of edge cases and common arguments against "don't talk to the police". [0]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-7o9xYp7eE |
