McNeil v. Wisconsin

In McNeil v. Wisconsin, 501 U.S. 171, 177-178, 111 S. Ct. 2204, 115 L. Ed. 2d 158, the Court held it was proper for the police to interrogate McNeil regarding other crimes for which he had been charged after he waived his Fifth Amendment rights, even though his Sixth Amendment rights had attached for a different crime. However, the court noted that it was clear and undisputed that McNeil's Sixth Amendment right had attached and been invoked with respect to the specific offense for which he had been formally charged. See id. at 175. Thus, the police could not have engaged in further interrogation of McNeil regarding that specific offense. See id. at 175-176.
