The People of the State of Colorado, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Chad Broder, Defendant-Appellee

Summary

The court reversed the suppression order because Broder's statements about obtaining counsel were ambiguous in light of the entire interrogation and surrounding circumstances. The interrogating officer was therefore permitted to ask limited clarifying questions, after which Broder unequivocally chose to speak without an attorney and signed a waiver. The case was remanded for further proceedings.
