The moral of the story is that anything you say to the police can (and in the case of murder, probably will) be used against you for any reason they choose fit. Police are even allowed to lie to you when you give them statements.
Check out www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8z7NC5sgik and part 2 which is listed after part 1. This is a law professor spending 30 minutes detailing some of the ways his clients have gotten into trouble just by talking to the police. Really eye opening if you watch it.
Most of you probably have no interest but it is something I highly recommend everybody watch at least once.
My takeaway is that people will not give the police any information again because a defense attorney may decide to humiliate you in public for no other reason than to take the focus off of their client. Everyone was so upset about what the prosecution did to JW in bringing up his facebook page. This is INFINITELY worse! MOO
