FIRST OFF, GIVE NO VERBAL OR ORAL STATEMENTS. IF YOU ARE INDICTED, FIND OUT WHAT THEY HAVE FIRST BEFORE YOU SET UP YOUR DEFENSE. OBTAIN COUNSEL TO DO THIS. BEFORE YOU START ARGUING YOUR CASE, FIND OUT WHAT THEY HAVE. THINK OF THIS AS A POKER MATCH, WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO KNOW WHAT YOUR OPPONENT HAS BEFORE YOU BET YOUR HAND!! OF COURSE.
THAT'S HOW YOU START TO DEFEND YOUR CASE. THEN, YOU FIGURE OUT HOW TO BEAT IT.

A: You should exercise your two most important rights in this situation: your right to remain silent and your right to counsel.
