And what did you do after you read [appellant]<br />
his Miranda Rights?<br />
I asked [appellant] if, in fact, he understood his<br />
rights. He indicated that he did. I asked if he<br />
would sign the first line which is the<br />
acknowledgment that says I have read or have<br />
had read to me this explanation of my rights.<br />
And [appellant] signed that.<br />
And what was the next thing that occurred?<br />
The next thing that occurred was [appellant]<br />
asked if the guy died. And B<br />
What was your response?<br />
And my response to that was, in fact, someone<br />
died. We are from the Homicide Unit or we<br />
wouldn=t be having this conversation with him.<br />
Did he make an election as to continue the<br />
interview or speaking to you at that point?<br />
At that point, he made a comment to the fact<br />
that he wasn=t going to talk to us. As I started<br />
writing ADeclined to be interviewed,@ on the<br />
Miranda form, which is what we do when<br />
someone chooses not to speak with us,<br />
[appellant] continued to speak.<br />
Did you, in fact, note, ADecline to be<br />
interviewed,@ on the form?<br />
Yes, in fact, I did.<br />
