grrr i keep forgetting to put stuff in my messages before sending them. My brain is working overtime today lol
Another 2 things i was thinking of while looking at reports in google
I remember in one they said something about
GBC wasn't going to say who he thought killed Allison
I'm wondering if going by that someone else did do it and GBC was just involved in some way (if he was)
Also i can't understand why (if they think) GBC did it that he hasn't (according to news reports) given a statement yet. I was in a situation last year where i witnessed something. I wasn't even allowed to go too the hospital to see my friend until i had been to the police station to do my statement

The police want me to go to the police station to answer questions. Do I have to go?
No, unless you are under arrest. The police cannot force you to go to the police station without arresting you. Just because the police call at your address or ring you and ask you to come to the police station doesn't mean you have to go there.
If police don't seem to be giving you a choice about going to the police station you can ask if you're under arrest. If you're not you don't have to go.
Even if you do go to the police station, you still have the right to remain silent.
I've told the police I don't want to be interviewed but they're still at me to go to the police station anyway. What can I do?
Sometimes the police tell you that you still need to come and say on a tape that you don't want to be interviewed. You don't have to do it. You may need to write a letter to confirm that you don't want to go and be interviewed.
In some circumstances you do have to answer questions or show police things like your ID, your licence.
If you don't want to answer questions and you're not sure whether you have to, ask a lawyer for legal advice.
The police want to interview me to tell my side of the story. If I've got nothing to hide it can't hurt to go for a police interview can it?
Yes, it can.
If you say something, it's recorded and you can't take it back. It can be used against you in court (unless you can get the interview thrown out, which is hard).
Even if you've done nothing wrong, you can feel nervous at the interview, misunderstand the question and perhaps answer incorrectly.
You might expect one charge, but what you say can lead to a different, more serious charge or more charges.
You can take a lawyer with you to the interview to advise you, but the lawyer cannot interfere in the interview.
Even if it doesn't hurt to go and be interviewed, it doesn't usually help you either.
It's rare that what you say in an interview will mean that the police will drop charges against you.
You can get advice from a lawyer about whether agreeing to a police interview is a good idea for you. Legal Aid Queensland does not provide lawyers to go to the police station with you, but can arrange for you to get legal advice to help you decide whether you want to agree to an interview.
