Duckworth v. Eagan

After police connected Eagan (defendant) to an attack, he was read a waiver form advising him of his right to remain silent and to consult an attorney, but adding that police had "no way of giving you a lawyer, but one will be appointed for you...if and when you go to court." Eagan signed the waiver, repeated his story, and was later re-interrogated with a different Miranda waiver and confessed. His confession was admitted at trial over objection, and he was convicted; on federal habeas review, the district court found the waiver defective for not clearly conveying his right to consult an attorney before questioning, and the Supreme Court granted certiorari.
