Disregarding the colloquial use of “dog”, a judgment from the Louisiana Supreme Court ruled that 24-year-old Warren Demesme’s constitutional right to legal advice had not been denied, with Justice Scott Crichton saying he “ambiguously referenced a lawyer” in his police interview.

Demesme told officers: “If y’all think I did it, I know that I didn’t do it so why don’t you just give me a lawyer dog cause this is not what’s up.”
