"the unidentified arrested person is accused of making a false official statement, obstruction of justice and involuntary manslaughter"

As with most things, it is not answering the questions truthfully that is usually the problem.

"Did you kill him?"

 

"... yes."

 

"Thank you for your honesty. I think that's about everything we had, you may go."

Turns out, when they say, "under Article 32 of the UCMJ, you have the right to remain silent.." it helps keep you from making a false official statement.

I can't remember, can info given under safety privilege be used in criminal proceedings?

Do cops have safety privilege?  Even if they do, my understanding is no.  At school we were told that at any point (as the person doing the interviewing) you suspect that a crime was committed, you immediately stop the interview.  I don't think they addressed any information that was divulged prior to that point, but I'm betting the answer is no.

Safety is safety. Ground safety investigation was started I imagine. Could be wrong.

It'd be Class A, Ground Safety mishap and investigated. Safety privilege isn't offered for them.
