For those who may not know, it is reality TV. None of this is scripted, of course, there has to be some form of modifications in order to have a show. Still, these are real cases, real murders, real interrogations.
As far as asking for a lawyer, a lot of the crimes are so senseless, heat of the moment type. Most of these people are VERY stupid and do not know their rights, so they buckle under the pressure of a detective.
I don't know where you guys are from, but over my way I live around shoot-outs, murders, etc....You always wonder who? when? and why?
This show gives that side of the coin...
