To establish the crime of burglary under Texas Penal Code Ann.

Lisa Schiavo Blatt argued the cause for the United States as amicus curiae urging reversal. Respondent waived these rights. Because we answer the first question in the negative, we do not reach the second. Although the Court in Brewer and Moulton reversed convictions with respect to offenses that had not been charged at the time that the defendant made incriminating statments (the offense of murder in Brewer and of burglary in Moulton), neither decision actually addressed the issue of whether the Sixth Amendment attaches to uncharged, factually related offenses, and it does not appear that the State raised the point in either case.

In holding that "the State violated Moulton's Sixth Amendment right when it arranged to record conversations between Moulton and its undercover informant, Colson," the Court reasoned that "[t]he police thus knew that Moulton would make statements that he had a constitutional right not to make to their agent prior to consulting with counsel."

Justice BREYER, with whom Justice STEVENS, Justice SOUTER, and Justice GINSBURG join, dissenting. followed Miranda's dictates when questioning respondent.

Unlike JUSTICE KENNEDY, the majority does not call Jackson itself into question. Respondent waived these rights.

The Sixth Amendment right to counsel is triggered by the initiation of adversary judicial proceedings in a criminal case.

That is because criminal codes are lengthy and highly detailed, often proliferating "overlapping and related statutory offenses" to the point where prosecutors can easily "spin out a startlingly numerous series of offenses from a single ... criminal transaction." At the same time, the majority's rule threatens the legal clarity necessary for effective law enforcement.

Defendant was indicted for burglary of a home. I put the lady in the hole and I covered them up. It is also worth noting that, contrary to the dissent's suggestion, see post, at 177-178, 179, there is no "background principle" of our Sixth Amendment jurisprudence establishing that there may be no contact between a defendant and police without counsel present. Respondent contends that, in affirming reversal of both the theft and burglary charges, the Moulton Court must have concluded that Moulton's Sixth Amendment right to counsel attached to the burglary charge. While under arrest for an unrelated offense, respondent confessed to a home burglary, but denied knowledge of a woman and child’s disappearance from the home. That holding necessarily entails the proposition that the Sixth Amendment protections on an indicted offense do not extend to all other crimes by the same defendant.

By contrast, the offense of capital murder for the killing of two persons in a single criminal transaction under Texas Penal Code Ann. 7 In finding that the Sixth Amendment right to counsel attaches with respect to factually related uncharged offenses, the Sixth Circuit in Doherty, 126 F.3d at 776, also relied on this Court's decision in Illinois v.

A detective traveling with the defendant elicited from the defendant the location of the child's body by expressing the view that the parents were entitled to a "Christian burial" for their child. Regardless of the resolution of that issue, however, Michigan v. Jackson did not bar the admission of respondent's statements.

In seeking evidence pertaining to pending charges, however, the Government’s investigative powers are limited by the Sixth Amendment rights of the accused. Id. In July 1994, while under arrest for an unrelated offense, respondent was again questioned about the incident. 487 U.S. at 290 n.3 (citing Maine v. Moulton, 474 U.S. 159, 176 (1985)). While Cobb was free on bond in the burglary case, Cobb’s father contacted the police to tell them his son had confessed to killing the woman and child. 475 U.S. at 626 (quoting Edwards, 451 U.S. at 484-485). Fourth Circuit 1335, 149 L.Ed.2d 321 (2000).

Assuming that the accused thereafter invokes his right to counsel (see Patterson, supra), the Sixth Amendment as amplified by Michigan v. Jackson bars the police from initiating questioning concerning that offense. See McNeil v. Wisconsin, 501 U.S. at 180; Maine v. Moulton, 474 U.S. at 180. One might add that, unlike the majority's test, it is consistent with this Court's assumptions in previous cases. In Brewer v. Williams, the effect of the majority's rule would have been even more dramatic.

Thus, once any suspect is charged with an offense, the Sixth Amendment right to counsel attaches with respect to that offense.5 See p. 8, supra. .

While under arrest for an unrelated offense, respondent confessed to a home burglary, but denied knowledge … The question in this case is whether the police violated respondent's Sixth Amendment rights under Michigan v. Jackson, 475 U.S. 625 (1986), by eliciting incriminating statements about respondent's murder of two individuals after respondent had been charged with the burglary of the individuals' home and was represented by counsel on that charge.

his Sixth Amendment right to counsel. Moulton is similarly unhelpful to respondent. 501 U.S. at 175. On habeas review of the defendant's conviction on murder charges, the Court held that the police violated the defendant's Sixth Amendment right to counsel when police questioned him outside the presence of his attorneys, reasoning that the police "purposely sought during Williams' isolation from his lawyers to obtain as much incriminating information as possible."
