U. S. News & World Report: You criticize the Miranda ruling, which gives suspects the right to have a lawyer present before police questioning. Shouldn't people, who may be innocent, have such protection?Apparently from a 1985 interview w/ U. S. N&WR, per The Economist (Not something we'd brag about, if we were you.) who provide no link, & who brought it up because of this NYT crap in which Meese bitches about what are, essentially, his own policies.
Meese: Suspects who are innocent of a crime should. But the thing is, you don't have many suspects who are innocent of a crime. That's contradictory. If a person is innocent of a crime, then he is not a suspect.
