The following excerpt is from Woods v. Avenentti, 990 F.2d 1266 (9th Cir. 1993):
The primary issue is whether Woods invoked his right to counsel while he was being transported to the police station. If so, all questioning of Woods had to stop and not resume in the absence of counsel, unless Woods initiated further discussions. Edwards v. Arizona, 451 U.S. 477, 484-85 (1981).
