Hey nads you want to tell me about the effects of hypovolemic shock on mental status?
They could have told that guy that he was a titmouse and he would have agreed. They could have read him his rights when they took him into custody and you goons would have argued that he wasn't mentally competent to understand them.
Was there not a case where someone suspected of being a terrorist was arrested, read this rights and he clammed up ? All the information they could have gotten from him was lost.
Seems that one can be held for questioning for days but when actually arrested then he/she is given their rights.
I would guess the Police will drain this kids brain for every bit of knowledge he has ,then comes the arrest and the rights. He will be studied by 2 dozen shrinks to be able to testify that he was competent to understand and there will be some surprises along the way.
What if-------it was he and friends that pulled his brother into all this ???? We take it for granted that the older brother was in charge, but the older brother had So much to loose, he, the kid just his life.
Kids get odd at that age, late teens, they yearn for excitement and danger. Who was it that said " Go West Young Man" ?
Things we will never know if he is arrested and given his rights too soon.
