Rule
Assertion of the Sixth Amendment right to counsel at an initial appearance for one offense does not constitute invocation of the Fifth Amendment Miranda right to counsel, nor does it bar questioning about unrelated offenses.
Significance
Clarified that Sixth Amendment right to counsel is offense-specific; invocation of counsel for one charge does not attach to uncharged offenses.
