State v. Babb
Annotate this CaseDefendant entered a conditional guilty plea to stealing drugs, and judgment was entered accordingly. The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment, holding (1) the court did not err in denying Defendant’s motion to suppress her confession, which was made to police during a voluntary polygraph, as the Defendant’s right to counsel in a separate, prior prosecution did not apply to interrogations arising out of the subsequently, separately alleged offenses; and (2) the pre-charge interrogation regarding the new criminal conduct that gave rise to the current prosecution was not a “critical stage” of the prosecution for purposes of the Sixth Amendment.
