  the Louisiana Supreme Court ruled that the defendant's request "give me a lawyer dog" was too ambiguous to be considered a Miranda request for a lawyer. I thought that was fascinating. "give me a lawyer dog" is clearly a request for a lawyer. It's not ambiguous at all.

      Exactly--who would think that? It's so stupid: it's like saying give me some e-paper and someone pretending to interpret it as he wants a paper with an e on it. I thought this was fascinating. give me a lawyer dog is clearly a request for a lawyer. It's not ambiguous at all.
