Day Four: Flaco signed, understood statement; treated as witness, not a suspect

Officer Maldanado advised Flaco that if he gave a false statement, that he could be arrested. The officer says Flaco reviewed the final draft of the statement and then indicated that everything he told was the truth. The officer then asked Flaco to initial the deposition at the beginning and end, which he did.

The officer says that during the drafting of the statement, Flaco never said he wanted a lawyer or said that he didn't want to talk. During this time, the officer says, Flaco was never a suspect in the case.

The officer says that at this time, Flaco was treated as a witness, not as a suspect, and was told that.
