.........Miranda Not Invoked or Postwaiver
3 Cards On This Topic:

M's certification for prosecution in fed. court sufficient, request for attorney ambiguous and failure to notify mother of his Miranda rights harmless error.

As juveniles claiming postwaiver invocation of Miranda are properly subject to Davis, trial court did not err in finding D's postwaiver requests to speak to mother not sufficiently clear to require cessation of the interrogation.

Under rule of People v. Burton and Fare v. Michael C., M was not invoking his Miranda privileges in asking to speak to his mother.
