2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Maglio v. Jago · Bailey v. Hamby“Once warnings have been • given, the subsequent procedure is clear. . If the individual states that he wants an attorney, the interrogation must cease until an attorney is present. At that time, the individual must also have an opportunity to confer with the attorney and to have him present during any subsequent questionings. If the individual cannot obtain an attorney and he indicates that he wants one before speaking to police, they must respect his decision to remain silent.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“It goes without saying that a valid waiver will not be presumed simply from the fact that . . . the Miranda warnings were again given and purportedly understood by the accused prior to the confession.”
