Task: Interrogation of Prisoner Who Has Invoked Right to

Counsel

Minnick v. Mississippi, 498 U.S. 146 (1990).

Once a prisoner invokes their right to counsel under Miranda, all

questioning must cease (Edwards Rule) and no further interrogation

may take place unless counsel is physically present, even if the

suspect has had an opportunity to confer with counsel.

Note: Maryland v. Shatzer rules which would allow re-initiation of

questioning after a 14 day break in Miranda Custody.
