Heading: Shaking Like a Leaf

Text: The interrogation continued. Ross left the room briefly, telling appellant to [l]ay back in the chair and relax because he would have a minute to sleep. Upon his return, Ross discovered that appellant had urinated on himself. The detective took appellant's clothing and gave him a paper jumpsuit to wear. Appellant asked to keep his shirt because it would be cold in the cellblock, but Ross denied the request. After seizing the clothing, Ross told appellant to wait because he had to go out, build some bricks. Appellant again asked to be taken back to the cellblock so he could get sleep. Ross offered to let him lie down on the ground in the interrogation room, handcuffed to his chair, but appellant repeated that he wanted to go back to his cell. Ross commented that appellant was shaking like a leaf. Ross asked appellant if he wanted to talk to him; appellant said no (three times), adding that he did not care whether Ross ke[pt] on building. For most of the next two-and-a-half hours, appellant was left alone in the interrogation room. He spent some of that time lying on the floor, handcuffed to his chair, and some of it sitting up in the chair.
