07-09-09 STATE OF NEW JERSEY V. JOHN WESSELLS
A-1545-08T4
In this appeal we hold that, pursuant to both the federal
and New Jersey Constitutions, a person who has asserted the
right to counsel during a police custodial interrogation and is
subsequently released may be interrogated again if the break in
custody afforded a reasonable opportunity to consult an
attorney.
