Robert J Callahan wins Stilwell Murder Trial
Cody Stilwell, the 21-year-old man accused of stabbing his ex-girlfriend’s stepfather in 2014, was acquitted on Friday almost 25 months to the day after he was first arrested.

WHAT SAY MY CLIENTS:
The FBI has Questioned me; do I need an attorney?
If the Federal Bureau of Investigations has already questioned you, you may. The answer to this question lay in whether the FBI has reason to suspect you in the commission of a crime.There could be a few reasons the FBI wanted to ask you some questions. These include:
-
General information
If you happened to be near to where a crime was committed, you may have some general, linking information which will help in their investigation. You may have nothing to do with the crime and are not even considered a suspect. But investigators often question everyone who may know anything.
-
Specific Information
Investigators may have uncovered your name in connection with a crime. They may not suspect you of anything, but may believe you have information useful to their investigation. You may be aware of this knowledge or not.
-
You Are a Suspect
Legally, investigators have an obligation to inform you that you are a suspect. However, this does not always happen, as attested by the numerous Supreme Court challenges along these lines.
