State v. Alexande r

Summary

The court held that any violation resulting from the continued interrogation after the defendant made an equivocal request for counsel was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. The improperly admitted statements did not affect the convictions for felony murder, attempted robbery, or conspiracy because the fact finders rejected the defendant's account, relied on other evidence, and regarded the statements as cumulative and nonessential. The judgment was affirmed as to those convictions.
