Facts

Roberson (D) was arrested at the scene of a burglary. D stated that he wanted an attorney before answering any questions. Interrogation ceased. A different officer who was unaware of the request for an attorney interrogated D about a different offense. D made an incriminating statement after being advised of his rights about that different offense. These statements were excluded at trial. Arizona (P) sought a review of the suppression order. The Arizona Court of Appeals affirmed. The Supreme Court accepted review.
