If the police wanted to talk to me about a murder investigation of a pregnant woman I used to date, I'd take my sweet damn time, get my ducks in a row and head down with a lawyer too! I can't say I blame him at all for the way he handled it.
Something to hide or no, you want to make sure you handle that situation right, and rushing down to sit in an interview room in Baton Rouge with some homicide detectives seems fraught with disaster.
