Heading: Detective Thompson Takes Over; Appellant Resists Further Questioning

Text: At about 2:00 a.m., Ross returned with Detective Thompson. Ross told appellant there were a couple more things we need to talk to you about, after which appellant could get a little sleep. Detective Thompson then took over, questioning appellant about matters already covered by Ross. By this point, appellant was visibly tired and was mumbling his answers. When Thompson pressed appellant about the lies he allegedly had told, appellant responded, I didn't say that .... I don't want to talk about it. After further questions, appellant stated, Take me back ... go to sleep now. Take me in the back, lock me up. The detectives continued to question appellant, saying that anyone would want to get the crime off their chest. Dorsey answered, Let me do it when I go to court. Again, appellant asked to go to sleep.
