Robertson v. Hanks

How later courts describe this case

• finding defendant's indication he had nothing further to say about the crimes does not reasonably suggest a desire to end all questioning or to remain silent
• defendant savagely stabbed an elderly couple to death during robbery in their home; victims were 76 and 71
• rule requiring recording of custodial interrogations not necessary to ensure fair trial and not required under state due process clause
• “It is not the prospective juror’s religion per se which justifies the challenge for cause but his views on the death penalty, regardless of their source or impetus.”
• mixed-race couple stabbed to death in their home during an aggravated burglary
