No that is what the state court did, their decision was overruled. The man should have been allowed to meet with his attorney before further contact by the police after the court hearing.

The man should have been allowed to meet with his attorney before further contact by the police after the court hearing.

Was he prevented from doing so or did he just not meet with his attorney? It doesn't state what happened in the summary.

[Publius Valerius]

I’m OK with the State court’s holding. He didn’t ask for a lawyer, so he doesn’t get the protection.

I’m not cool, however, with overruling a rule that prohibits interrogation after a suspect has requested a lawyer. I’ll withhold final judgment until I read Edwards.
