The decision in this case was wrong I think, but it is better to be more accurate in criticism so that people can’t undermine you.

The ruling did not hinge on the “lawyer dawg”. You can completely disregard that. The ruling hinged on if he asserted his right in asking for a lawyer.

His exact words:

“I know that I didn’t do it, so why don’t you just give me a lawyer dog ‘cause this is not what’s up.”

Sliced very finely, he did not directly ask for a lawyer, but he asked a question. Instead of saying “give me a lawyer” he asked “why don’t you just give me a lawyer?”

I think the ruling was wrong by hinging so finely on his exact wording when he indicated he wanted a lawyer, but if you’re going to make headway please stop repeating the Buzzfeed headline version of the ruling.
