They'd arrest her...put her in jail.
Suspects aren't arrested if they demand lawyers, witnesses are.
She was told it would make it worse for her BEFORE she was made a suspect and arrested, not after.
No, she's wasn't entitled to a lawyer merely by being made a suspect. She was only entitled to a lawyer if she was interrogated further. As soon as they made her a suspect, they kalted the interrogation (she was made a suspect at 1:45 am. The interrogation was halted at 1:45 am). It is not status that defines the requirement, but the action performed by the ILE while under that status.
They did arrest her...put her in jail.
If she had insisted on a lawyer, she would have been put in jail for not cooperating, but not for a false accusation and a false confession.
So, that would not have been worse for Amanda. Only for her captors.
