Constitutional law professor William Greenhalgh talked about the Supreme Court case Minnick v. Mississippi and compared and contrasted it to Edwards v. Arizona of 1981. Both cases deal with the Miranda rights of defendants.

He cited that Minnick differed from Edwards because in Edwards that protection ended as soon as an attorney is provided. close
