WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a case that would have spelled out what police should do when suspects demand to see an attorney, but then talk anyway.
The court had heard arguments earlier this month in the appeal, involving questioning of a Maryland teenager about a murder. Maryland had lost in a lower court, and Monday's action leaves that decision in place.
State assistant attorney general Kathryn Grill Graeff told justices that if the state also lost the Supreme Court appeal, it would not be able to put Leeander Jerome Blake on trial.
