Heading: Walker's Arrest and Confession

Text: At about the same time the crowd was attacking Walker, police officers arrived. They observed several individuals attacking Walker on a stairway and one of the officers heard someone say, He killed my brother. The officers broke up the attack. When Det. Kenneth Kanger arrived, he asked Walker to go with him to police headquarters to talk about the shootings. Walker agreed and went with Kanger. Once at the police station, Kanger and Perna asked Walker about his family and background. After they covered this background information, they advised Walker of his Miranda rights and Walker responded either verbally or by nodding his head that he understood each of these rights. Kanger and Perna interviewed Walker on and off for about 4 hours 45 minutes. During the interview, the detectives offered Walker food, drink, cigarettes, and an opportunity to use the restroom. At no time did Walker request counsel, ask for the interview to be stopped, refuse to answer a specific question, or complain that he was tired. Walker eventually admitted to participating in the robbery and to shooting Thompson and Carter.
