Fuller v. State - CCA

The defendant's videotaped statement was not admitted in violation of his right to remain silent and his right to counsel even though officers did not inform him his attorney was en route to the sheriff's office and his attorney told officers not to interview the defendant without counsel present. It is immaterial whether an attorney has attempted to intervene on behalf of an accused if the accused is unaware of the attorney's actions. Officials have no duty to cease an interview because an attorney asks them to inform the accused. The defendant made a voluntary decision to waive his right to counsel during his interview, and he was fully aware and comprehended the information conveyed to him in the required warnings. Fuller v. State, AP-74,980.
