1. “[Haliburton] submitted to a polygraph examination at 2:05 p.m. Meanwhile appellant’s sister retained an attorney to represent him. The attorney called the police near the end of the polygraph examination and requested that the questioning stop. The attorney arrived at the police station a few minutes before 4 p.m. and asked to speak with appellant, but was not allowed to do so. Appellant gave a recorded statement from 3:56 until 4:20 p.m. that was played to the jury. By 4:18 p.m. the attorney had a telephone court order, requiring that the police give him access to appellant. After the judge’s second phone call, the police chief ordered that the interrogation cease, and the attorney was able to see appellant.”
