How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- finding that defendant who repeatedly initiated conversations with police knowingly and intelligently waived any right to counsel he may have previously invoked
- adopting Davis reasoning and holding that, after an initial waiver of his Miranda rights, a suspect must thereafter signify his intent to invoke the Sixth Amendment by making an unambiguous request for counsel
- “Law enforcement officers must immediately cease questioning a suspect who has clearly asserted a right to have counsel present during custodial interrogation.” (emphasis in original)
- defendant’s statement that he “ ‘might need a lawyer’ ” was not an unambiguous request for counsel
- defendant’s statement that he “ ‘thought he might need a lawyer’ ” did not constitute clear invocation of his right to counsel as would require cessation of questioning under Edwards
- “Law enforcement officers must immediately cease questioning a suspect who has clearly asserted a right to have counsel present during custodial interrogation.” (emphasis in original)
