How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that it constitutes an interrogation for the police to ask an accomplice to tell the suspect that the accomplice had confessed, because such an action was “reasonably likely to elicit” inculpatory statements from the suspect
• noting tension between cases holding that confronting suspect with incriminating evidence constitutes interrogation and cases holding that, if conduct was attendant to arrest and custody, it was not interrogation
• confronting a suspect with his alleged partner in crime and claiming that the partner confessed is interrogation
• defendant's silence and refusal to respond to police questioning invoked his right to cut off questioning
