Guile GRE Vocabulary Flashcard
/gaɪl/ (noun)
trickery, deceit, chicanery, deviousness, cleverness, treachery, artifice, slyness, cunning, duplicity, astuteness, deceitfulness
Other Supreme Court decisions have found nothing unconstitutional about police statements that misrepresent the real focus of the interrogation or distort the amount of incriminating evidence against the accused. Only if such trickery or guile takes place after formal charging is it likely to be prohibited, and here the source of the prohibition is not the Fifth but the Sixth Amendment, which has been construed to bar interference with one’s right to counsel once the “criminal prosecution” to which the Sixth Amendment refers has commenced.
