PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN V RUDY BLADEL; PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN V ROBERT B. JACKSON, 421 MICH 39 (1984): Appendix of Plaintiff-Appellant

This appendix was compiled as part of the appellate litigation in the consolidated cases of People v. Bladel and People v. Jackson, reaching the Michigan Supreme Court in 1984. The document served as the evidentiary record for the prosecution's appeal, focusing on the constitutional implications of police questioning after a defendant has requested counsel. It reflects the meticulous procedural work required in high-stakes criminal law, providing the foundational documents, transcripts, and motions that allowed the state to argue its position before the highest court in Michigan.

The legal documents within this volume center on the application of the Sixth Amendment right to counsel, specifically addressing whether a suspect's request for an attorney at an arraignment precludes subsequent police-initiated interrogation. The case remains a significant piece of Michigan legal history, as it was eventually reviewed by the United States Supreme Court in Michigan v. Jackson (1986). Designed for archival and judicial reference, the appendix represents the rigorous administrative standards of the era's appellate process, intended to provide justices and clerks with a reliable, structured narrative of the trial proceedings.
