Michael Addison: Judge Throws Out Cop Killers Confession

Officer Michael Briggs

Superior Court Judge Kathleen McGuire has thrown out the admission by cop killer Michael Addison, in the shooting death of Manchester, NH Police Officer Michael Briggs.

Judge McGuire ruled that the police violated Michael Addison’s rights by not immediately halting questioning when he said he wanted a lawyer.

Cop Killers Confession Thrown Out

Does this alleged police violation warrant throwing out the confession? Addison did not stop talking, nor was there any suggestion that Addison was coerced into a confession. In fact, Addison indicated he wanted to talk with the interviewing officers even after mentioning a lawyer. In light of these facts, did the police act inappropriately?

The police have only themselves to blame. He asked for a lawyer, they should have stopped asking questions. It is not complicated.
