Question

Sands is arrested for a warrant for murder. When he is brought to the station a detective reads him his Miranda Rights. The detective begins asking Sands questions. Sands is answering the questions but then asks, “Do I need an attorney?” The detective tells him, “That is your decision.” The detective then begins asking more questions. Sands then confesses to the murder.
