This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That's not entirely accurate:

Your fifth amendment rights haven't been invoked until you say so. The Miranda warning isn't a guide for how to invoke the rights, just a notification that you have them.

Now, it's ridiculous that we've ended up here and it was a terrible ruling, both of them, but if you're just quiet you haven't invoked your right to silence anymore than you've invoked your right to legal counsel.
Which is a hell of a position for the court to take on coerced confessions.
