In Canada if you are asked what happened, you don’t have to make a statement or say anything until you talk to your lawyer first and then in court.
To me this works in favour of accused party’s so you don’t incriminate yourself.
Allowing time to get all your ducks in a row and stories straight.
Cops always push for a statement from the accused party right away for that purpose.
Yet here we have one of there own going down the other path. It doesn’t look good for the public. Public wonders why he wouldn’t cooperate if he has nothing to hide.
