On Friday, Tiger Woods ran his Escalade into a tree.  He was taken to the hospital and, likely because he is a celebrity, the police left him alone while he was there.  When they finally came to interrogate him, he had his wits about him and told them he wanted to talk to his lawyer first.  He then issued an official statement on his terms.  Woods admits fault, but for no thing in particular.  None of his, "admissions" can be nailed down to any particular action or mistake the he had made.  The statement allows for deniability.  Without the assistance of counsel, Tiger Woods would have been interrogated by law enforcement and, without a doubt, would have made damning statements.  At the very least, he would have admitted to failure to control or Florida's equivalent.  As it is, he has, by his reasoned statement, avoided even that admission.  He is a shining example of why no person should speak with law enforcement without first speaking with an attorney.
