Conflicting Ideals

Question 5 • EA Academy Civics 9

Police officers receive a warrant from a judge to search the house of a woman suspected of robbery. The police find stolen property and make an arrest. At the police station, officers question the suspect without a lawyer, even though she asks for one. When the case goes to trial, the jury finds the suspect to be guilty of the crime.

Answer
A
Police officers conducted an unlawful search.
B
Police officers contacted the judge before trial.
C
Police officers denied the suspect a lawyer.
D
Police officers questioned the suspect.

Explanation

The officers had a judge-issued warrant to search the house, so the search was authorized. But once the suspect asked for a lawyer, questioning her without one denied her right to counsel. The correct choice is “Police officers denied the suspect a lawyer.”
