1. ““Where a suspect has asserted his right to counsel, that right may later be waived, but establishing such a waiver requires proof of an intentional abandonment or relinquishment of a known right or privilege. Brewer v. Williams, 430 U.S. 387 , 97 S.Ct. 1232 , 51 L.Ed.2d 424 (1977). An express refusal of counsel is not a prerequisite to a valid waiver. State v. Gholson, 112 Ariz. 545 , 544 P.2d 654 (1976); State v. Jenkins, 111 Ariz. 13 , 522 P.2d 1090 (1974). Thus, the answering of questions after the giving of a proper ‘Miranda’ warning constitutes a waiver by conduct. State ex rel. Berger v. Superior Court, 109 Ariz. 506 , 513 P.2d 935 (1973) , cert. denied sub nom. Pate v. Arizona, 414 U.S. 1145 , 94 S.Ct. 899 , 39 L.Ed.2d 101 (1974); State v. Knapp, 114 Ariz. 531 , 562 P.2d 704 (1977), cert. denied sub nom. Knapp v. Arizona, [435] U.S. 908, 98 S.Ct. 1458 , 55 L.Ed.2d 500 (1978); State v. Pineda, 110 Ariz. 342 , 519 P.2d 41 (1974) .” State v. McGinty, 120 Ariz. 162, 164 , 584 P.2d 1153 (1978); see also State v. Grange, 25 Ariz.App. 290 , 543 P.2d 128 (1975) .”
