Mr. Sorrels. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. Coming back to the policy matter, I don’t expect you to be able to quote it to me now, but you have the impression there is something in writing in some manual of standard operations, instructions, that requires that you warn a person of his constitutional rights?
Mr. Sorrels. I just cannot answer that question, because I just can’t recall if there is a specific instruction of that particular thing or not.
But I do know that if we do not warn them of their constitutional rights, that we are—we will be in serious trouble in the trial of a case because if the question is asked, “Did you warn this man of his constitutional rights?” we have to tell the truth, and if we say “No, it wasn’t,” we would be jeopardizing our case.
Mr. Hubert. Now, at the time you called Curry, you had not spoken to Wade?
Mr. Sorrels. Not about the actual interview with Ruby at that time.
Mr. Hubert. At the time you talked to Curry, was that before or after you saw Wade at Love Field?
Mr. Sorrels. I can’t say for sure, but I think it was probably afterwards.
Mr. Hubert. What I am trying to get at is what motivated your call to him.
Mr. Sorrels. I probably didn’t make myself plain.
