This is a purely educational website. Nothing here is legal advice or creates or implies an attorney-client relationship. If you have a specific legal issue, PLEASE talk to a lawyer who practices where you live—laws vary from place to place, and how they're applied varies from courthouse to courthouse. Your local county bar association can probably refer someone who handles matters like yours.

It's best to keep all discussions in the comments. But if you really need to reach Nathan privately, go ahead and email him at n.e.burney@gmail.com. He won't mind.
THE ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO LAW and the PEEKING JUSTICE logo are pretty damn cool trademarks and should probably be registered one of these days.

After the emergency was over, ☆ continued questioning him without reading him his rights, right? So that testimony and all evidence leading from it is in jeopardy? The feds were well along in their own investigation so it probably doesn’t matter in this case, but if the circumstances were different he could have blown the whole case?
I know that hold from Aikido. If done right it doesn’t hurt at all if you don’t move.
