In perusing new cases, here was one that just floored me.
Cops read guy his Miranda warnings. Guy says, "I don't want to give up any right, though, if I don't got no lawyer." Cops question him anyway. Judge throws his statement to the cops out because the cops didn't honor his request for a lawyer. Simple enough. On appeal, the case gets reversed because the guy's statement wasn't "clearly an invocation of his right to consult with counsel." See State v. Gobert, 244 S.W.3d 861 (Tex. App. - Austin 2008).
I'm telling ya, it's hard out there.
