When you have been arrested then you need to hire an experienced criminal defense lawyer who can provide the best legal defense for a violent crime.
The police are doing their job, they are looking for the evidence needed to convict you of a crime, and it is legal for the police to lie to you during the course of their investigation. Always remember, the police will use anything that you say against you when it comes to prosecuting you for a crime, PLEASE use your right to REMAIN SILENT.
