Read the case and answer the questions that follow.

The local convenience store was robbed twice in a month by the same person. The police investigated the crime by talking to witnesses, viewing the store’s videotape, gathering other evidence. They suspected that Avery Thompson committed the robberies. They arrested Thompson at his home.

They took Thompson to the police station and questioned him in the presence of his lawyer.

Answer:

Avery Thompson was a suspect who was not proven to be the criminal. So until and unless the police had a clear evidence they can not arrest Avery and put him in prison. They can investigate the case and question him in the presence of a lawyer.
