Description
The respondent, hereinafter defendant, was arrested on August 7, 1970, as one of four men allegedly involved in an armed robbery and homicide at Giblins Bar in the city of Madison. The crimes were committed at approximately 10 p. m. on August 7th, and at approximately 1:20 a. m. on August 8th a group of witnesses to the crimes was asked to view two police lineups which included defendant and two other men thought to have been involved in the crimes. Prior to the lineups an assistant district attorney telephoned the director of the Dane County Legal Aid Society and requested that an attorney be provided to represent the suspects. In response to this request, Attorney Philip Lazarra was sent to the police station. Mr. Lazarra spoke to each suspect separately, indicated that he would represent each suspect for the time being, and briefly informed the suspects not to make any statement to the police without an attorney being present. Neither the police officers nor the district attorney informed defendant of his right to have counsel present at the lineup. There was no Discussion between defendant and Lazarra relating to any lineup.
