We will address that question shortly. Gleckman's remarks would obviously have constituted interrogation if they had been explicitly directed to respondent, and the result should not be different because they were nominally addressed to McKenna.

The Sixth Amendment right is offense-specific, and so also is its Michigan v. Jackson effect of invalidating subsequent waivers in police-initiated interviews.405 Therefore, although a defendant who has invoked his Sixth Amendment right to counsel with respect to the offense for which he is being prosecuted may not waive that right, he may waive his Miranda-based right not to be interrogated about unrelated and uncharged offenses.406.
