Kevin Andrew Schuler, Appellant (defendant) v. State of Indiana, Appellee (plaintiff).

Summary

The Indiana Supreme Court affirmed the denial of Schuler's suppression motion, finding that his statements about wanting an attorney were ambiguous and that he then knowingly chose to continue speaking with police. It also upheld the finding that Schuler intentionally killed Arnold and concluded that his life-without-parole sentence was appropriate. The court remanded, however, for a more specific sentencing statement identifying the aggravating and mitigating circumstances and explaining their evaluation and balance.
