If they're questioning him and they're charging him he should have an attorney there with him. Does he know to even ask for one?

I just want to know he was advised of his rights, an attorney was brought in and that this is all being done properly. It would really suck to lose him on a technicality.

He very likely was not advised of his right to an attorney. -- (link) - mara Apr 22, 11:10
an obscure law was invoked, IIRC, that lets you hold and question someone for 48 hours without an attorney or reading of rights if there is sufficient - colin Apr 22, 11:04 1

no chance of your last sentence, even if they didn't do the first part. Way too much evidence for them to need his statements -- nm - zork Apr 22, 11:02
maybe they want to let him go on a technicality and send him out into the streets of Boston - Epiphany Apr 22, 11:02 1
