IMO, even though I understand and truly do respect DM's Constitutional Right to remain silent, I'm perplexed as to why, when LE discovered the truck in Kleinburg, DP indicated that there was more to the story, yet DM didn't make a statement thru DP about the Ayr farm and what they may find ie) incinerator, equipment etc. IMHO, right then, for that brief 24 hours, the defense did have an opportunity to put out the "Bad guys are after my client" theory, not simply a "there's more to the story" statement. JMHO, DM knew that TB was dead and laying in the incinerator, otherwise, just like everyone else, he would have held out hope that TB would be found alive and would have been assisting LE every single way possible to find him. Instead, DM, knowing TB was very dead, remained silent, hoping and praying that they'd never find the farm or the secrets it held until he could post bail on the Wednesday at which time he may be able to tidy things up! MOO
Or he might have been remaining silent because he really did not know anything, but he knew enough to know that anything he said would be used against him from that point on.
Here is how imagine pretty much any conversation going if someone actually is innocent and knows nothing;
LE - Tell us what you know
Innocent person - I don't know anything, I swear. I think maybe I should talk to my lawyer.
LE - Why do you need a lawyer? Do you have something to hide?
IP - I don't have anything to hide, I just think it might be smart to talk to my lawyer if you think I did something I know I didn't do. I'd like to help you if I could, but I don't know anything and I don't want to say anything to somehow incriminate myself.
LE - Oh, you might say something that is going to incriminate you, what would that be, do you suppose? How could you say anything to incriminate yourself if you didn't do anything? What have you got to hide?
IP -I don't have anything to hide, I just think that maybe I should talk to my lawyer because I know you've got the wrong guy.
LE - Oh, and how would you know we've got the wrong guy if you don't know anything about it? It sounds like you know more than you're letting on!
IP - I swear, I don't know anything! You're twisting my words!
LE -That's exactly what a guilty person would say! Are you sure that's the statement you want to give .....
And on and on in circles.
That is why they have to say "Anything you say can and will be held against you". They are saying right up front, we have a right to turn everything you say against you, so you have a right to shut up. I am sure any lawyer would do the same thing in the same situation. That right was put there to protect the innocent, and they have a right to use it without people presuming that means that they are guilty. One of the beautiful things about this country that our veterans fought for, in my opinion.
