To stop predjudicial information from coming out. The prosecution may have traded it for Barbara's testimony? Lots of wheeling and dealing going on. Something like: "You seal up my client's smartass remark(s) made during illegal questioning, and I'll not call Barb to tell the world about the VDs."

The prosecution really wouldn't have the option of a deal. If DW requested a lawyer during questioning the officers HAVE to stop asking questions.
They then can 1) arrest him and get his lawyer. 2) not arrest him and let him get the lawyer so they can question him again.
To not give him his right to counsel makes all statements after that null and void as far as testimony. Thats why we've heard his testimony up until the point he asked for counsel when he went to station that day.

John, is it possible that Barb is also a felon and cannot testify?
