[QUOTE="Sp5, post: 537406, member: 4337"] Not true. With a jury, you always have a shot. There are a lot of acquittals in rape cases, as I have said before. The scary thing is that even if you shut up (which you should do) the cops can put words in your mouth if they're unethical enough. Which is why defense lawyers demanding audio/video of any interviews is now a feature of any defense of a case with alleged "admissions." With the technology nowadays, really no excuse, even with expedient interviews on the street. London cops will soon have a video camera attached and activated while on duty.
