1Opinion of the Court

DURHAM, Associate Chief Justice:

¶ 1 This is an appeal from an interlocutory order denying defendant Todd Jeremy Rettenberger’s motion to suppress his confession. Rettenberger is charged with murder and aggravated robbery. Rettenberger contends that the district court erred in concluding that his confession was not the involuntary product of police coercion. Retten-berger also argues that the district court erred in determining that he failed to unequivocally re-invoke his right to counsel and his right to remain silent. We reverse and remand.
