" 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. 

Congrats to Ivy Ginsberg for the win. 

The opinion is below.

It is possible that, had he referred to a canine after mentioning his financial condition, the conviction would stand.

Sad that another appellate court held that an accused who requested a " lawyer[,] dog" had not invoked his right to counsel.

Thank God for the Second District! Would that we could take our appeals there.
