After your miranda rights are read and the officer proceeds to question and you answer, can those statements be admissible in court or must the officer stop asking questions once a lawyer is requested?
I meant *in court, not is court!
"You have the right to remain silent, if you give up this right everything you say can and will be held against you………" That means if you continue talking, you can be held for anything you say. If you have your rights read to you, you should say : " I have nothing to say until I talk to a lawyer.

If you pay attention to your Miranda rights, you would know that "anything you say can and will be used against you" You do not have to answer anything without a lawyer present. Theoretically the officer is supposed to ask no more questions. What happens in the real world is a tad bit different. The question then becomes exactly when did you ask for a lawyer? Before or after you answered the officer and when did He read you the Miranda warning?
