Interview Transcript
Scott Michael Dunn: What should I do if I’m accused of domestic violence?
Steve Waterkotte: First thing, if you’re arrested for domestic violence—that’s typically how these things start; a phone call to police by a husband, a wife—do not speak to the police. Do not incriminate yourself. Exercise your Fifth Amendment right, which you have the constitutional right to do.
So, that would be the first step.
The second step would be getting an attorney. Anytime you’re accused of something serious, like this, it would be wise to do both of those: Do not talk to the police, exercise your Fifth Amendment Right, and get an attorney ASAP.
