I don't know exactly what the rules are, but *technically*, Donna wasn't *questioning* the prisoner, she was just talking to him--well, taunting him, maybe threatening him a little bit. But she wasn't actually asking any questions, just...giving him the opportunity to share what he knew, after he'd asked for a lawyer.
No show is ever completely without flaws, but I really enjoyed this one--and it was the first in a long time that actually had me scared, at points.
Any statements meant to get an answer from a suspect are considered interrogation. Now, you could get picky and say he didn't specifically state "I invoke my Fifth Amendment right to remain silent." But that's the kind of semantics that a judge probably would not put up with. In any case, Donna's not very veiled threats against his safety would be considered coercion.
