OK, I can look this up on Lexis Nexus or something but I am pretty sure you lot can save me the *advertiser censored**e ache.
1) Can police in Colorado lie to witnesses/suspects about evidence? E.g. Could a detective claim to have found someone's DNA at a crime scene if this weren't actually the case?
2) Is there a statute relating to the age of criminal responsibility and could this realistically be tested in court or is it a common law principle anyway?
Just asking because a couple of IDIs have made statements about the scariness of the BPD and the above principles and it would be helpful to know the exact score WRT these questions.
