Asked on Jan 14th, 2016 on Criminal Law - Pennsylvania
More details to this question:
I was accused of stealing liquor from my job. I was seen on camera carrying a bag. They ask me how many time I've done this. I told the police 3 occasions. After everything was said and done, I was given my rights.
If they are using the statements to prosecute you on the prior 3 occasions, I would have an attorney review all of the facts to see if your 5th amendment rights were violated.
