A i Washington apr the supreme court gave police More Power to question criminal suspects outside the presence of their lawyers As a result of a thursday decision. \. By a 6-3 vote it a Wisconsin Case the justices said a suspect being represented by a lawyer in one criminal Case sometimes May be questioned in connection with another crime without the attorney present. Justice Antonin Scalia writing for the court said the ruling will not weaken so called Miranda warnings which rec quire police to Tell suspects they have a right to remain silent and to be represented by a lawyer. Justice John Paul Stevens in a dissent agreed the ruling May have Little Impact on police interrogations.

Mcneil was arraigned May 22, 1987, on a charge he committed armed robbery in West Allis wis. After asking for a lawyer he was represented at his arraignment by a court appointed Public defender. Later that Day and subsequently police questioned Mcneil in his cell about an unrelated murder in Caledonia wis. A Mcneil agreed not to have a lawyer present during those interrogations and made incriminating statements. Under a plea agreement he was convicted of the Caledonia crime and sentenced to 60 years in prison. The High court said police did not violate Mcneil a right against self incrimination protected by the fifth amendment to the Constitution a the same right that was. Reinforced by the courts landmark 1966 ruling in Miranda is. Arizona. The justices later ruled suspects who invoke their right to be represented by a lawyer generally May not be questioned by police about other offences unless the suspects initiate the conversation.

Rather Scalia said the suspect had invoked Only his narrower sixth amendment right to be represented by an attorney a a right that applies Only when court proceedings have begun not when the suspect is taken into custody. He was joined by chief Justice William 11. Rehnquist and justices Byron r. White Sandra Day o Connor Anthony m. Kennedy and David h. Souter.
