>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.

I guess it depends on how that questioning is interpreted. The Detectives probably thought they were easing him into talking and his attorney convinced the Judge it was coerced.

The police said they believed Couey was asking for a lawyer prior to having a lie detector test. Who knows, I haven't read the transcripts of the interview. But it's irrelevant.

He gave a second confession while in jail that's allowed in. The evidence gathered from the original confession is allowed in and they have DNA.
