Male v. State

BARKDULL, Judge

(dissenting).

I respectfully dissent from the majority opinion. It appears that the interrogation of the appellant continued while the counsel he had contacted was on the way to the police station. The alleged confession was obtained while the police officers and the appellant were awaiting the arrival of the attorney. I would hold that the cause is governed by Escobedo v. State of Illinois, 378 U.S. 478, 84 S.Ct. 1758, 12 L.Ed.2d 977, and grant a new trial.
