The Defendant's Manual: What to Do When You Are Under Criminal Investigation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798252917191)

The Defendant's Manual is the essential guide for anyone who finds themselves under criminal investigation, or who wants to understand the system before they ever need to. Written by forensic criminal expert and legal scholar André Kologeski, this book cuts through the confusion and fear to deliver clear, practical, and actionable knowledge.
Drawing on decades of experience in forensic criminal analysis and legal research, Kologeski reveals how investigations really work, why most people make catastrophic mistakes in the early stages, and what you must do - and must never do - to protect yourself.
Inside, you will discover:
-Why talking to investigators without a lawyer is almost always a fatal mistake
-How investigators build their narrative - and how you can disrupt it
-The psychology of interrogation and how to resist its pressure
-What your constitutional rights actually mean in practice
-How to evaluate evidence and understand your real legal position
-The strategic principles that separate those who survive the system from those who are destroyed by it
This is not a book for criminals. It is a book for anyone who understands that the criminal justice system can reach into any life without warning - and that knowledge, preparation, and discipline are the only real protection.
Practical. Authoritative. Potentially life-changing.
