State v. McNeil
Wisconsin Supreme Court
Decided May 2, 1990No. 89-0539-CRPublishedCited by 8 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtSteinmetz, J.
The issue certified is whether an accused's request for or appearance with counsel at an initial appearance on a charged offense constitutes an invocation of his fifth amendment right to counsel that precludes police-initiated interrogation on unrelated, *29uncharged offenses. The trial court answered "no" and we agree.
Other issues in the case include whether the state illegally delayed filing the murder charges to conduct further investigation so as to obtain a sew-up confession. The trial court answered "no." We do not believe the issue presented is consistent with the facts.
