Davis v. U.S

In Davis v. U.S., 512 U.S. 452 (1994), the Court considered whether the statement "maybe I should talk to a lawyer" was sufficient to invoke a suspect's right to counsel, when uttered approximately an hour and a half into interrogation. Before questioning, the suspect had been read the Miranda warnings and indicated that he understood those rights and agreed to talk. The Court held that an equivocal request for counsel is insufficient to invoke the right to counsel and does not require the interrogators to cease questioning or limit further questions to those seeking clarification. Davis, 512 U.S. at 459, 114 S. Ct. at 2355, 129 L. Ed. 2d at 371-72.
