State v. Deck
State v. Deck
Opinion of the Court
We review Deck v. State, 653 So.2d 435 (Fla. 5th DCA 1995), which expressly and directly conflicts with State v. Owen, 696 So.2d 715 (Fla. 1997). We have jurisdiction. Art. Y, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const.
In Owen we held that police in Florida need not ask clarifying questions if a defendant makes only an equivocal or ambiguous request to terminate an interrogation after having validly waived his or her Miranda
It is so ordered.
. Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 86 S.Ct. 1602, 16 L.Ed.2d 694 (1966).
