You Have the Right to Remain Innocent
Using actual case histories of innocent men and women exonerated after decades in prison because of information they voluntarily gave to police, Professor Duane demonstrates the critical importance of a constitutional right not well or widely understood by the average American. “James Duane’s amazing but true stories of innocent people exonerated after decades of wrongful imprisonment (which could have been avoided if they had just insisted on their fundamental right to avoid self-incrimination) are riveting reminders of the high price we pay, as individuals and as a society, when we fail to assert our constitutional rights.” —Laurence H. Tribe, Harvard Law School. You Have the Right to Remain Innocent describes a stream of miscarriages of justice that occurred only because innocent suspects cooperated with deceptive officers preying on their ignorance and good intentions. “Well-informed, scary, sobering, and sure to tick off police officers and prosecutors even as it contributes to keeping innocent people out of jail.” — Kirkus Reviews.
Reviews
"Prof. Duane mixes his brilliant legal scholarship with his trademark humor in this brief overview of what to do when a police officer asks cheerfully, "You don't mind answering a few questions, do you?""
"I knew these tactics and techniques were used by law enforcement, I never knew how much simple statements could be woven into a guilty sentence for the most innocent."
"Once you start looking, it's alarming to realize how many innocent people go to jail because they don't understand the system and they thought if they just told the truth to the arresting officers that everything would be ok. Three felony's a day... Know your rights, the don't and do's of using the 5th, when and when not to keep your mouth shut."
"Every citizen owes it to her or himself to read this book."
"Some very important points made in this book about you (as a suspect, a person being questioned, a random person) and how you should deal with the police if they come to you."
"If you don't know about the lobster law or you even vaguely believe what you might have seen regarding forensics on TV, you should read this book."
"This text clearly shows the dangers of talking to the police."
"Even a single sentence shared with police before remaining silent can be construed into a confession, allowing police to bypass the investigatory work of finding a true culprit."

Reviews
"I guess it's a good book."
"It starts out overly simplistic."
"I actually have not finished it yet, and I am still in my first month of law school."
"I don't think Planet Law School (too depressing.....we already know that the economy is bad and that most lawyers are poor) or 1L of a Ride (this is a good second book to read adds much more detail to the ENTIRE process of law school) was better than this."
"A must read to understand the skills in question by law school exams."
"In law school knowing information inside and out is only the start and will earn you a C. I started law school last semester and I wanted an edge when it came to writing exam essays."

Reviews
"As it says, this is a "toolkit" for people interested in brushing up on or learning about NLP."
"For a series of books discussing NLP techniques which include clear communication, the author, sadly, is out of her league regarding NLP."
"It's a rehash of the info contained in the short version of Amy's TED talk, rather than any contextual application of Cuddy's body of work that pertains to NLP and interpersonal influence."
