    It should be added that, “Once a suspect requests a lawyer, police are generally required to stop questioning until an attorney is present. The Supreme Court case Edwards v. Arizona further strengthened this rule, holding that any attempt by law enforcement to continue questioning without an attorney present violates the suspect’s rights.”

    Once you ask for a lawyer questioning is ‘suppose’ to stop. If you’re still alone and they keep prying. That’s only more cause for concern.

      Unless of course you’re in Louisiana, in which case the police can keep interrogating you as long as they want. The Louisiana supreme court deserves the death penalty for their blatant violation of Warren Demesme’s constitutional rights
