Hey Skinny, you know us attorneys can talk and type all day. That is how we make our money.

I head the other night that law enforcement wasn't notified in a timely manner, and I do disagree with that. As far as waiting until Sunday to give a statement, remember that you always have the right to remain silent. Not that I have ever been put in this situation, but if a client of mine was arrested and I was called and the police wanted a statement right away, I would advise my client to keep his/her mouth shut until I spoke with him/her and that he/she could give a statement afterward. So, I don't think there was anything wrong with Cheney waiting until Sunday to give law enforcement a statement, but I do agree with you that law enforcement should have been notified right away.

I also agree that Cheney should not have been in charge of the entire situation, but I also do not think anybody in the White House should have been put in charge of the situation because they were not in Texas. At the end of the day, I do not know who was in Texas that might have been a good person to put in charge of the situation.

To sum it all up, I think failing to notify law enforcement in a timely fashion is a no no, but taking your time to give an accurate and investigated statement to law enforcement and the media is no crime.
