Oh.

If he waives his rights, still no interview?

So the right to waive is taken away even if he wants to talk?

Why would they do this... can I have a scenario?

Read the briefs. He didn’t want to talk.

That's the government's position.

U.S. Challenges Michigan v. Jackson

From: MICHIGAN V. HARVEY, 494 U. S. 344 (1990)

"In Michigan v. Jackson, 475 U. S. 625 (1986), the Court established a prophylactic rule that once a criminal defendant invokes his Sixth Amendment right to counsel, a subsequent waiver of that right -- even if voluntary, knowing, and intelligent under traditional standards -- is presumed invalid if secured pursuant to police-initiated conversation."

I'm not sure which side I favor.
