Prior Decision
Case below 954 A.2d 1118 (Md. 2008), cert. granted 1/26/09.
Argument(s)
The Court should not create exceptions to the bright line rule of Arizona v. Edwards, 451 U.S. 477 (1981), let alone exceptions that would permit police from the same jurisdiction to reinterrogate a continuously imprisoned suspect about the very same offense as to which he had originally invoked his right to counsel.
