I asked this in the "guide to dealing with the police" thread and it went unanswered, so maybe giving it its own topic will be a better idea.
Does anyone have any documented cases of people shooting someone in self defense and then refusing to talk to the police and how the legal process turned out for them?
It seems like common advice on the internet to recommend that people not talk to the police and ask for your lawyer; but I haven't read anything about it actually being put into practice.
This is a serious inquiry, not a mocking/ joke thread.
