The United States Supreme Court Has Handed Down Several Decisions

The United States Supreme Court has handed down several decisions concerning the questioning of a suspect after the suspect has claimed his or her rights under the Sixth Amendment (Edwards v. Arizona, Michigan v. Jackson, and Michigan v. Harvey) . In accordance with these decisions:

A) once a suspect has been arraigned and has claimed the right to counsel at the arraignment or preliminary hearing, neither the police officer nor the suspect may initiate additional questioning.
B) if a suspect has been arraigned and has claimed the right to counsel, the police officer may not initiate questioning; however, further discussion may be initiated by the suspect and such evidence should be admissible.
C) if a suspect has claimed his or her right to counsel but questioning continues, statements [evidence] made by the arrestee may not be used by the prosecution in its case in chief, nor for impeachment purposes.
D) if a suspect has been indicted, there can be no further questioning by the officers, unless the prosecutor and defense attorney agree.
