Second interview
Notifications OFF
Hi all
Hope you're all doing well
Long time since I've been on here. I was trying to just get on whilst we waited. Bail extension time is coming and I don't hold out hope for an end even though they all but said it would.
My question is with second interview is saying no comment helpful? My person answered everything in the first one (like an idiot) because he believed he was truly innocent. They took things he said so far out of context and even used things in different orders to make it sound worse.
What are the pros/ cons of doing a no comment second interview?

My oh had a rubbish solicitor on first one who told him to just be honest, he was way to honest and they used some of it in court. He had a decent solicitor for the second one who advised no comment because it seemed like they hadn't got as much information as they wanted and was trying to get him to incriminate himself more. Has your person got a solicitor make sure their present when the time comes
My husband was completely honest in his first interview and told them absolutely everything. His attitude was I'm happy to tell them everything because I'm innocent (he was on chat sites and one of the women told him to download the kik app so they could talk on there. He didn't know what kik was so downloaded it. Then she started talking about young children and he took a dislike to that and stupidly decided to try and set up a sting against her which backfired.) I have a feeling he will fight as hard as he can instead of giving the no comment in interviews but I also have no idea if that's the right think or not.
No comment is the typical advice from solicitor.
Second interviews don't always happen, ot general is used if new evidence is found.

Scared and confused -
He had a duty solicitor in his first and apparently she said he could say no comment but he didnt so maybe she kind of imploed no comment if youre guilty and he thought different. His new duty solicitor (think that's what it's called) is the most ridiculous waste of time ever. I've told my person to sit there and say nothing if he has another interview.

I've never been in the situation and tbh I was a bit vocal with them when they were in the house out of shock but I'm so annoyed he didn't say no comment because its stuff that is so irrelevant but they've span it all to make it sinister. They completely lied about something I didn't say on the form and i had to complain to get it removed so I just don't trust them now. It makes everything so grey when they make stuff up because its hard to know who to believe.

EA can you afford a private solicitor? The duty solicitors are rarely experts and often unhelpful.
My person was completely honest in his interview. He gave the police more information than they actually has at the time. We'll never know whether this was a good or a bad thing but what I do know is that the judge took this into account in sentencing and praised my son for being so honest. He actually said that they see far far too many of these cases but he had never seen one where the person had been so honest and open from day one. My sons offence was communication and he received a suspended sentance.
In the moment. We should be able to afford one but atm we have no info to take to them so not sure if it's worth it? The police won't tell anything to the current one and we have no notes from the first interview so not sure how they could help.
