• summarizing the right to counsel protections derived from Edwards v. Arizona, 451 U.S. 477 (1981) and Smith v. Illinois, 469 U.S. 91 (1984)
• no due process right to counsel prior to submitting to a test which a suspect is required by law to take
• request for counsel unambiguously limited to blood test and medical treatment and thus Edwards rule not applicable to subsequent statements
• “[U]under Delaware law the police can require a suspect to submit to testing without that person’s consent.”
