right to remain silent



In court last week (not for me, someone else). What an education.


"Routine" traffic-thing. 87 year-old man, drinking and driving, caused a "vehicular crash." Cop takes the stand. Gets into the he said-I said bit. After about 10 minutes of this and answering questions from the commonwealth attorney-rat-faced-jerk, the cop says:


"Then I arrested Mr. Whatever and read him his rights."


My wife, Lisa, hit me because she knew I was about to lose it. Too late. I did. In a loud "whisper," I made sure to point out that everything that poor old man has said to the cop BEFORE he was "officially" arrested and& mirandized WAS used against him, blah blah.


God, I get SO mad!
