The lead investigator for Fairfax County, VA in the Sniper case testified today that she kept questioning then juvenile Robert Lee Malvo after he requested a lawyer.
Prosecutors did not dispute that Mr. Malvo asked, "Do I get to see my attorneys?" and later said, "My attorneys told me not to say anything to the cops until they got there." But they said those statements fell short of the clear demand for a lawyer needed to halt questioning. Detective Boyle said she told Mr. Malvo that he could see his lawyers but that she first wanted to ask a few questions. She advised him that federal charges had been dropped and that he was facing new charges in Virginia and continued questioning him.
