1. “There was testimony at the evidentia-ry hearing that Wampler advised [Mr. Perry] against making both the January 4th and the January 7th statements to the police. Wampler testified that he initially advised [Mr. Perry] not to go to the interview on January 4, but that it was “their call. If Jermaine wanted to go it was — it would be his call; he’s the client.” Wampler testified that he did call to confirm the 1:30 appointment “as just a courtesy.” On cross-examination, Wampler testified that he advised the Perrys to not feel pushed into having to make the 1:30 appointment with the juvenile officer. Wampler testified that he “warned them about the pitfalls of talking to the police,” but the Perrys were “hell bent” on talking to the police and telling the truth. Conversely, Eldo Rado Perry ([Mr. Perry’s] adoptive father) testified that he had not scheduled the appointments, but that the decision was made by Wam-pler. He testified that Wampler did not advise them against it, and told them to return on January 7 for an appointment with juvenile authorities. Mary Perry ( [Mr. Perry’s] mother) testified that going to the 1:30 p.m. appointment on January 4 was Wampler’s idea and that he made the phone call to arrange it. She testified that she did not want [Mr. Perry] to make a statement. [Mr. Perry] testified that when he went to the January 4 interview, it was what his attorney wanted him to do, and that he did not want to go, nor did his parents want him to go to the interview. H”
