“I want an attorney should always be the only answer”
I once read where one guy made that request, and the cops sent in an ASSISTANT DA. Well, he DID get an attorney, didn’t he? ;) Forgot how the appeals court ruled, but that trick doesn’t seem to happen any more, so maybe the cops were barred from employing it....
If so, I’m guessing that he wasn’t allowed to discuss the case with the police or other DAs.
I remember reading about that case. The judges were not amused and unanimously threw the case out. I’m sure they didn’t come out and say that the ruse was stupid, but I’m sure that they had to be thinking it.
