he was denied the chance to talk to a Lawyer...which is what he was told he has the right to do in his Miranda warnings.
I would like to know
the details here. I would bet
he WASN'T "denied"
an attorney, but
was questioned while waiting for
a lawyer to show.
Did he confess to killing the child and then want to talk to an attorney or did he want to talk to his attorney and then confess to killing the child? Makes all the difference in the world. Oh, and did they also tell him that anything he said could be held against him in a court of law before or after he confessed to killing the child? Poor guy probably came from Mars and didn't know his Miranda rights. This was all brand new to him so I can understand the fact that he confessed to killing the child needs to be ignored during the trial.
