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.
