Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division, holding that the Pennsylvania detectives violated the Edwards rule by interrogating Wint after he invoked his right to counsel, that no break in custody occurred under Shatzer, and that the statement obtained in Pennsylvania must be suppressed; the court remanded for a new trial on the manslaughter charge while affirming the other convictions.
