How courts have described this case

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

• holding suspect’s statement, “I don’t want to say nothing. There’s just so much to say” was not unequivocal attempt to cut off questioning (punctuation omitted)
• defendant who told police, “I don’t want to say nothing. There’s just so much to say,” did not unambiguously invoke his right to remain silent
• viewed in context of the interrogation, even statement “I don’t want to say nothing” was reasonably understood as a part of the “give-and-take” of interrogation, rather than an invocation of the right to remain silent
• officer had no obligation to cease interrogation because defendant's statement \was part of the give and take of interrogation\ and could be \reasonably understood to express\ something other than an assertion of the right to remain silent
• officer had no obligation to cease interrogation because defendant’s statement “was part of the give and take of interrogation” and could be “reasonably understood to express” something other than an assertion of the right to remain silent
