How Does the US Legal System Differ From Other Countries
at 13:26
Answer
In the US, the suspect has to request to have a parent or attorney in the room. In other countries like England and Wales, juvenile interrogations must be in the presence of an appropriate adult, like a parent, guardian, or social worker. The youth doesn’t have to ask for one, it’s automatic, unlike in the US.
