" I CAN'T AFFORD A LAWYER ANYHOW "
The second DCA issued a nice decision in Noh v. State in which the court found that in response to the Miranda warnings, the defendant's statement " I can't afford a lawyer anyhow" without any further response by the officer that the court would appoint a lawyer for free, was sufficient to render the warnings null and void, and resulted in a new trial for Noh.

Sad that another appellate court held that an accused who requested a " lawyer[,] dog" had not invoked his right to counsel.
ReplyDeleteThank God for the Second District! Would that we could take our appeals there.
