An inmate's jailhouse phone call instructing relatives to relay to his attorney his willingness to accept a plea deal is not protected by attorney-client privilege, a federal appeals panel has ruled. The U. S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit held that the inmatewho knew that his call was being recorded-did not have a "reasonable expectation of confidentiality" when he told his sister to tell his brother to tell his attorney that he wanted to discuss whether he could "cop out" before an indictment. Because the inmate "was aware that his calls were being recorded, and there is no indication that he could not have contacted his attorney directly without being monitored, the district court did not abuse its discretion in finding there was no reasonable expectation of confidentiality in his communications, " a unanimous circuit panel stated.
