Does a suspect have an obligation to notify the police of the status of attorneyclient?
"New York", United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. West, 599 N.Y.S.2d 484, 615 N.E.2d 968, 81 N.Y.2d 370 (N.Y. 1993):
A suspect whose right has indelibly attached has no obligation to keep the police informed as to the status of the attorney-client relationship. Should the police wish to question defendant without counsel on the same matter after the right has attached, it is as a rule their burden to determine whether representation continues (People v. Marrero, 51 N.Y.2d 56, 59, 431 N.Y.S.2d 508, 409 N.E.2d 980).
