1. ““WARNING AND WAIVER Warning as to Rights Before we ask you any questions, it is our duty as police officers to advise you of your rights and to warn you of the consequences of waiving your rights. You have the absolute right to remain silent. Anything you say to us can be used against you in court. You have the right to talk to an attorney before answering any questions and to have an attorney present with you during questioning. You have this same right to the advice and presence of an attorney whether you can afford to hire one or not. We have no way of furnishing you with an attorney, but one will be appointed for you, if you wish, if and when you go to court. If you decide to answer questions now without an attorney present, you will still have the right to stop answering at any time. You also have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to an attorney. Waiver I have read the above statement of my rights and it has been read to me. I understand what my rights are.

3. ““DR 7-102 (A) (5) of the Code of Professional Responsibility states that: Tn his representation of a client, a lawyer shall not: knowingly make a false statement of law or fact.’ The Court is entitled to a fair statement of the facts from attorneys on both sides, not an exaggerated, self-serving version of the facts or an omission of crucial facts. When the Court finds that it can not rely upon the statement of a lawyer, the lawyer has lost his effectiveness with the Court and has therefore, in fact, injured his client.” (Emphasis supplied.) Cooper v. State (1974), 261 Ind. 659 , 309 N.E.2d 807 .”
