Carlton Dotson, the former roommate of Baylor basketball player Patrick Dennehy has been charged with murder.

According to press reports, Dotson called the police the other night and asked for help. The police came and picked him up and took him to a hospital, where he underwent a psychiatric evaluation. He called the FBI from the hospital and arranged to make a statement. The FBI says it was a voluntary, non-custodial interrogation.

It sounds to us like the FBI wants people to believe that Dotson voluntarily confessed. But Dotson denies it:

As he left the court commissioner's office Monday night, Dotson told a reporter: ''I didn't confess to anything. Call the FBI.'' Shortly after his arrest, Dotson had referred all questions to his lawyer.

Dotson's lawyer says he doesn't even know why they think Dennehy has been murdered. No body has been found.

Just goes to show, if you're under investigation for a crime, don't think you can talk your way out of it with the police. Anything you say can and will be used against you. Keep your mouth shut and get a lawyer.
