But they can't lie to get them to give up their constitutional rights. The FBI tried that with Richard Jewel and the courts slapped them down for it.<BR/><BR/>Brenda did it with the first stripper she interviewed and she couldn’t arrest her now no matter what.<BR/><BR/>She may have done it with the stripper who was shot as well. It was hard to tell what BJ did.<BR/><BR/>Also, spousal privilege can’t be waved by one spouse to testify against another. In this case, the husband still couldn’t testify against the wife. Now I have heard that spousal privilege is being reduced by the courts and legislatures, so it may no longer in CA, but if it does it doesn’t work the way the show showed.<BR/><BR/>I also wonder about the coercing the attorney to violate attorney – client privilege. That seemed illegal as well.<BR/><BR/>Also, the first stripper was too dumb to believe. She asks the police to talk to her attorney for her and relies on them to pass on his advice? Please!<BR/><BR/>The case itself wasn’t particularly interesting.<BR/><BR/>All in all, a poor episode to go on Spring break with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
