An attorney for the two investigators submitted the audio file to federal court on Monday.
David Rivkin, Archer’s lawyer, said in a statement that the audio “confirms Ms. Archer’s account of that traumatic morning in every relevant respect.” He called the investigation nothing more than a “fishing expedition aimed at ensnaring Scott Walker.”
“Given the trauma of the day, it is not surprising that a victim of these abuses may not remember every detail with perfect clarity,” Rivkin said via email….
For instance, she said in her filing that officers stormed into her house “throwing the (search) warrant at her without giving her an opportunity to read it.”
According to the audio of the raid, Weiss spent nearly six minutes reading the search warrant and the John Doe secrecy order to Archer and her partner shortly after arriving at their house.
Archer’s suit also maintains that she agreed to talk to Weiss out of fear and intimidation, not realizing she had a right to remain silent or to have an attorney.
Again, however, Weiss is recorded specifically issuing a Miranda warning to Archer and letting her know that she could have a lawyer present if she wanted. Archer was also told she could stop answering questions at any time.
“Realizing you have these rights, are you willing to talk with me now?” Weiss asked.
“Yes,” Archer said.
What BS.
