Sherman Keysor v. Commonwealth of Kentucky

Summary

The Kentucky Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and held that, under Section 11 of the Kentucky Constitution, any police‑initiated custodial interrogation after a defendant’s right to counsel has attached is ineffective, rendering the defendant’s statements inadmissible in a trial of the pending charges. The Court reaffirmed the Linehan rule despite the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Montejo.
