Got a bunch of tightly-intertwined questions here. Any thoughts appreciated.
In Missouri, local police have detained a 17-year old male for questioning. He is intelligent (and also Black), but not legally knowledgeable. He needs to find out on what grounds he is being held.
What must the police inform him? Must the police inform his legal guardian? Can the legal guardian and/or a friend with an interest in his well-being intercede with the police to get him released from custody? Would bail need to be posted? Any other assurances? What would be the procedure(s)? And what differences would there be depending on whether the police consider him a suspect, a person of interest, or a material witness?
