Sands is arrested for a warrant for murder. When he is brought to the station a detective reads him his Miranda Rights. The detective begins asking Sands questions. Sands is answering the questions but then asks, “Do I need an attorney?” The detective tells him, “That is your decision.” The detective then begins asking more questions. Sands then confesses to the murder.
Question: Did the detective violate Sands rights?

Respuesta :

Answer:

No, he said that's his decision.

Explanation:

No.

He had his Miranda Rights read, meaning he knew he had the right to REMAIN silent, and asking for an attorney in that situation is pretty useless.
