Scott Michael Dunn: Can I refuse to give a statement to police?
Joshua Boardman: Absolutely.
Christopher Combs: Yes. And you should.
Boardman: That would be our recommended advice every time. Come to us, tell us your side of things, tell us what you’re concerned about, what you’re not concerned about, what they have put on your radar, and then let us curate the narrative, let us control how those interactions are going to be moving forward during the beginning stages of an investigation or a case.
Combs: That’s a fantastic answer. I completely agree.
