The State of Texas v. Milton Dwayne Gobert, Appellee

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals held that Milton Dwayne Gobert's statement, "I don’t want to give up any right, though, if I don’t got no lawyer," was an unequivocal invocation of his Fifth Amendment right to counsel, requiring police to cease interrogation. The court reversed the Court of Appeals, reinstated the trial court's suppression order, and remanded for further proceedings.
