2. ““The People also cite United States v. Morales, 834 F.2d 35 (2nd Cir. 1987), where statements made to a physician’s assistant at a correctional facility were held admissible. The statements were admissible because the physician’s assistant had no investigative purpose, had no responsibility to investigate, and was only questioning the defendant out of curiosity. Redmond’s [counselor] responsibilities, however, included a duty to work with the juveniles and his questioning did not stem from mere curiosity but occurred after reading the defendant’s police report and discussing the case with the probation officer. In State v. Olson, 449 N.W. 2d 251 (S.D. 1989), a case which the People find particularly analogous to this case, a counselor at a prison was deemed not to be a law enforcement officer. Unlike Redmond, however, that counselor had no duty to report incidents he learned about through interviews with the inmates. Furthermore, in Olson , no investigation was under way when the defendant made incriminating statements to the counselor.” 832 P.2d at 251 .”
