One phone call! Who would you call? Many people call family members looking for guidance. This may not be the best use of the phone call. Family members have one goal, to bring you home. Statements made and advice given with good intentions, could seal your fate.
You have the right to remain silent. Waving this right because you are "innocent" has led many a person to jail. Your phone call should be to a lawyer.
