LAW 605 Lecture Notes - Lecture 51: Miranda Warning
Document Summary
D argues: my waiver was not knowing bc i did not realize what the police wanted to talk about: waiver is valid d does not have to know the topics of the interrogation. Only has to know the rights he is giving up. Case #2: p: you can remain silent if you want, but i can tell you that people who cooperate immediately get a better outcome than people who go to trial. Okay, i"ll waive: waiver probably not valid bc sounds like misleading legal advice, not always true that confessing early leads to better outcome. Case #3: p: you can stay silent if you want, but your co-conspirator in the next room is being questioned. You might want to speak up before the prosecutor accepts the other side of the story. Case #4: p: lawyer learns that client has been arrested, goes to station.
