Legal Question in Criminal Law in Indiana
Miranda
A person being questioned by the police, but not charged with a crime, requests a public defender be provided before questioning, is told no lawyer will be provided until they are actually charged with the crime, which may or may not happen depending on their answering the questions. In Indiana, even though in the Miranda statement read to the person indicates that they have the right to a lawyer being appointed, is it legal not to appoint a lawyer until the person has actually been charged with the crime?

Re: Miranda
Generally, whenever a person requests an attorney, all questioning must stop. There maybe an illegal questioning issue here. The person should definately hire an attorney to review the case in detail.
