Did she not have 3 days to think it over before she was even arrested? Gives a lot of time to lawyer up and come up with excuses. This whole story is truly God Awful.

Many police unions insist on the "48-hour rule", claiming it's scientifically proven to make their memories more accurate if they have a couple of days to think before they give a statement.

This is not a joke.

You do realize that when they arrest ANYONE they tell them "everything we say to you is a lie to get you to confess. We have zero power to actually be lenient on you, even though we tell you we do. You would be a fucking fool to say a word without a lawyer. In fact, we won't even allow you to do something so foolish. We recommend 48 hours as the bare minimum for you and your lawyer to get all your stories straight."
