Damon was indicted for burglary of a pharmacy. At arraignment, counsel was appointed. Two days later, police placed a paid informant in Damon's jail cell. Officers told the informant not to ask direct questions but to "see if Damon talks about the pharmacy." The informant told Damon that people who confess to friends often get better deals and asked how Damon got past the pharmacy alarm. Damon described breaking a rear window and taking prescription drugs.
During the same conversation, Damon also volunteered that he had robbed a gas station the previous week. No charges had yet been filed for that robbery. The next day, detectives gave Damon full Miranda warnings, obtained a signed waiver, and questioned him about both the pharmacy burglary and the gas-station robbery without notifying his appointed lawyer. Damon repeated both admissions.
