Description
I. SCHNEIDER, J. Upon consideration of the conflicting testimony in the record, we subscribe to the finding of the trial court that defendant's
oral confession preceded public defender Frank Petrancek's request to see the defendant and any inducement on the part of
Dorothy Berts and the police to obtain the oral confession. Furthermore, there is no corroborating evidence supporting defendant's
contention that his request for the assistance of counsel was denied. (Cf. Escobedo v. Illinois, 378 U.S. 478, 481, 12 L.Ed.
2d 977, where the police denied petitioner's request to see counsel, denied counsel's request to see petitioner, and told
petitioner that his lawyer ",didn't want to see' him. The testimony of the police officers confirmed these accounts in substantial
detail.") Finally, his voluntary appearance belies any intention on his part to seek an attorney prior to his interrogation.
If he had desired the assistance of counsel, he had four days to procure it before he surrendered and made his statement.
