"Coghill, despite admitting twice in writing to the FBI that he was guilty, pleaded not guilty in court today."
That is what the Feds call a "knock and talk". They do the same for child porn downloaders. They get you to start gabbing in an attempt to get out of being arrested (while your confessing, the arrest warrant is in the Fed officer's back pocket). They tell you "it will be easier for you if you write out an apology (also considered a confession letter). Apologies can only hurt you in court. Juries ALWAYS convict on apology letters.
You dont talk to the police without a lawyer, and certainly NEVER without asking first if youre being arrested. The cops exist only for the cops. They dont care if youre guilty or innocent.

Yeah, I agree with you 100 percent. They also call interrogations "interviews".....LOL...totally takes out the negative connotation associated with word interrogation.
This guy was probably under a lot of pressure and forgot his 5th Amendment right.

after this:
"despite admitting twice in writing to the FBI that he was guilty"
what are the odds of him not going to jail? Kinda of stupid on his part for saying he is guilty, then changing his mind.

Quote: Guns N' Roses added that they do not condone Coghill's actions, but that their real "interest is in the original source" of the material.
LOL...they have a "leak" in their organization!
Cheers!

Also remember that when/if you are ever in that room with the police and have already stated you will remain silent...they will lie to you and tell you that you're already guilty/we're just trying to save you thousands in legal fees/doesn't matter if you go limp and silent/yada yada. Don't fall for it. Cops lie all of the time and its technically not illegal to do so..they have quotas to meet. The more arrests/prosecutions they get, the more funding they receive as well as making themselves look good to the public.
Seems their lying backfired with this guy:

What a dumn human being, if he wrote that he is guilty who with a intelligent mind would plead innocent after that? That is a suicide for a few more years in prison.

Depends if it was under duress & can be proven after all we don't know if there was a bargain "plead guilty & sign confession for a get out of jail free card"
