How to retract a statement - My friend made a mistake - what should he do now??
What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NH
My friend stated, "I saw the homeowner push the officer", after he waived (signed) his miranda rights. This was recorded by the police officers. He told me he felt compelled to tell the officers what they wanted to hear at the time, under the circumstances.
The police arrested the homeowner and are likely to prosecute.
My friend is concerned because his statement is inaccurate.
My question is, what should my friend do now???
Should he hire a lawyer to recant/revise his statement and protect him (and the truth) as a potential witness?
Thank you!
