  • Montejo Vs Louisiana

    2786 Words  | 12 Pages

    In Montejo v. Louisiana, a new precedent maintained that police could go and question defendants who had waived their Fifth Amendment rights after they had been appointed counsel, even if counsel was unware of such a waiver. The facts of the case stipulate that Montejo had murdered a person with malicious intent; consequently, he was charged with first-degree murder and appointed a public defender. However, Montejo was likely unaware of his right to counsel – and thus, his Fifth Amendment rights, as the police convinced Montejo to confess the location of the murder weapon; Montejo may have unknowingly relinquished his right to deny self-incrimination, especially because the police spoke to him before his attorney could. Contrary to popular belief, the police are not your friends or allies; in fact, their neutrality or impartiality should never be assumed. Why else would the police question Montejo before his counsel could do his job?
