Rule

The Sixth Amendment right to counsel is offense-specific and attaches only to the charged offense; interrogation about a factually related but uncharged offense does not violate the right.

Significance

Narrowly defined the Sixth Amendment offense-specific rule; police may question about uncharged crimes even after counsel attaches on a related charge.
