How later courts describe this case
- holding that comment was invited when defense counsel alluded to his client’s silence and then “referred to appellant’s knowledge ... that appellant knew he was facing two police officers”
- State’s reference to motive is not reversible error if invited by defense counsel’s argument
- defendant's claimed invocation of the right to counsel not made during any custodial interrogation
