re: Should Collins sue BRPD for defamation?

The media advised that BRPD wanted to talk with him in connection with a murder of a pregnant woman. BRPD Advised he was not a suspect and wanted to talk with him due to possibly being the father of the saved baby. The media made it sound worse then it is for Collins not BRPD. Secondly you same Idiots that say BRPD screwed up are the same ones who would say the are giving special treatment for Collins if they didn't do anything.

I am only saying this if he is only wanted for questioning in someone else's alibi, and has nothing to do with the case.
If he is just wanted for an alibi, the BR police fricked this kid over, costing him millions of dollars as a first round draft pick, like predicted. There was no reason for them to release this info just before the draft.
Sorry if already discussed.
He can't. BRPD did not go out the way to attack his character, as they made clear that he was not a suspect. The whole situation murdered his draft stock, but they have to investigate the murder and talk to many different people. They wanted to learn more about the victim, and possibly and additional clues that might lead to a suspect. An alibi would also totally eliminate Collins from any potential suspect list he might have been on.

So the police should worry more about screwing over a kid's draft stock than finding the person who killed an 8-month pregnant woman?
Exactly, this board is hillarious.

I assume you're not a lawyer.

Collins' own attorney is the one who called him a suspect and said they were trying to clear his name. Not BRPD. Maybe he should sue his own attorney.

So your saying as a citizen who is not a suspect or under arrest as stated by the Baton rouge police department I am required by law to speak with them and if I don't they have a right to pursue me not in the court of law but the court of public opinion. Show me where I should not be protected by confidentiality laws as well as the 4th and 5th amendments. Collins and I as citizens DO have rights. Just because our justice system has ignored them in recent history does not mean they should be null and void.

There are ways of going about questioning someone without releasing his name. I'm pretty sure the police department does not release the name of every person they want to question.

You're not required by law to speak with them. They're not required my any law not to release your name. In fact, they do have an actual right to release the names of persons of interest in investigations.
They reached out and tried to do this quietly. Either him or his lawyer said no thanks. We'll maybe just talk to you later. That was either an extremely stupid decision,or him and his lawyer known something we don't.

What are confidentiality laws?
As for the forth and fifth amendments, show me where those say the police dept cannot ask to question you or put your name out there after you blow them off.

Apparently "confidentiality law". Who knew.

I think a good lawyer could easily prove this.
BRPD never said he was a suspect. They said they wanted to question him, which is true.
Know what the absolute defense is to defamation, libel, and slander? The truth.

You know neither of those statements is correct, right?
I am so disappointed in you Fox. You're dead to me.
Go hang out in Saints report from now on.

So BRPD doesnt want to speak with him? Because that's really all they have said
What did they say that was untrue?

If it's his kid, then he is a major suspect in spite of police statements.
If it's not his kid, he should have done a press conference and jumped all over this.
BRPD knows: who the father is, or who the mom claimed was the father. Tigerdroppings doesn't know, but they do. They've talked to her family and friends, we know virtually nothing.
