Summarize the Sixth Amendment approach to interrogations and confessions
What will be an ideal response?
The Sixth Amendment approach to interrogations and confessions is offense-specific. If formal proceedings have begun for one charge, but the defendant makes a confession regarding an offense he has not yet been charged with, the SixthAmendment does not provide protection regarding the charge for which proceedings have not yet commenced.
Once an accused individual has asserted his or her Sixth Amendment right to counsel, any statements obtained from subsequent questioning would be inadmissible at trial unless the accused initiated the communication (Michigan v. Jackson, 475 U.S. 625 [1986]).
