During a police interrogation, Jane Doe clearly states that she wants to consult with an attorney before answering any questions. Despite her request, the officers continue to question her for several hours without providing access to legal counsel. Which of the following is the most appropriate legal consequence of the officers' actions?
The officers are required to provide compensation for the improper questioning.
Jane Doe's statements cannot be used as evidence in court.
Jane Doe must comply with further questioning despite her request for an attorney.
The officers can use Jane Doe's statements as long as they inform her of her rights.
The correct answer is that the suspect's statements are inadmissible in court. Once a suspect invokes their right to counsel, police must cease interrogation until an attorney is present. Continuing to question the suspect violates her Sixth Amendment right, rendering any obtained statements inadmissible.
