MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Barnes, 432 F.2d 89 (9th Cir. 1970):
We agree. The rule was established in Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 86 S.Ct. 1602, 16 L.Ed.2d 694 (1966) that if the defendant "* * * indicates in any manner and at any stage of the process that he wishes to consult with an attorney before speaking there can be no question. Likewise, if the individual is alone and indicates in any manner that he does not wish to be interrogated, the police may not question him." Id. at 444-445, 86 S.Ct. at 1612.
