Troy Wayne Cross, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Court held that once a suspect who has invoked his right to counsel voluntarily reinitiates communication with police and expressly waives that right, the Edwards rule is satisfied and police may later initiate further interrogation. Accordingly, the appellant's second written statement was admissible, the Court reversed the appellate court's exclusion of that statement, and remanded for further consideration of the remaining issues.
