The penalties if
found guilty of homicide in Florida are severe
and unforgiving. It is important that you do not make any
statements to investigators until you consult with an
attorney. Any statements you make can and will be used
against you later in court. Make it clear that you wish to
speak to an attorney before answering any questions.
Do not be fooled
if the investigator claims things will only get worse if you
do not answer their questions, as law enforcement is legally
able to use deception in the course of their investigation
to elicit statements which benefit their case or obtain what
they deem to be a confession.
