Constitutional Law

NH AG Kelly Ayotte supports police who violated Miranda and Due Process Rights against Michael Addison.

By Christopher King

First give a pass in 24 hourse to a complete ass like Gregory W. Floyd with a history replete with lawlessness and unlawful gun possession when he probably murdered Liko Kenney.

Next stand behind cops who blatantly violate Miranda/Due Process Rights in the Michael Addison case where he will stand trial for the murder of Michael Briggs.
***********
At the start of their sitdown with Addison, the detectives had asked him to read aloud a form that listed his rights. When Addison read the one about having a lawyer present with him during questioning, he said, ?I would like that though.?

?You would like what?? said Detective Ryan Grant, according to the transcript.

?A lawyer,? Addison said. ?That?s just what I was told.?

?Okay,? Grant said.

?I mean, to always have a lawyer,? Addison said.

McGuire wrote that Addison?s comments left no room for doubt. Kelly reportedly said "we know that the Manchester officers acted legally but we respect the Judges order....."
