ESCOBEDO V. ILLINOIS
378 U.S. 478 (1964)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This is an appeal from a murder conviction.
FACTS: Escobedo's (D) brother-in-law was shot and killed. A few hours later, D was taken
into police custody for questioning. He retained a lawyer, and was released on a writ of
habeas corpus. Eleven days later, DiGerlando, also in police custody, claimed that D fired
the shots. The police picked up D again. D's attorney came to the police station and tried
to speak with D. While in custody, D made numerous attempts to speak with his attorney, with
no success. Instead of arranging a meeting between D and his attorney, police arranged a
meeting between D and DiGerlando. Shortly thereafter, D made incriminating statements
indicating that he was at the scene of the killing. He later made more damaging statements,
and ultimately signed a statement prepared by an assistant prosecutor. D was convicted of
murder. The Illinois Supreme Court affirmed. D appealed.
