Document Summary
Framers of the constitution: placed the right of silence beyond the reach of government, the law is not to be used to pry open the lips of the suspects and turn them into witnesses against themselves. Nature of confessions: the confess to friends and associates, who report these statements to officials, false friends cases, confess during plea bargain or while pleading guilty, confess during sentences when making incriminating statements to show their remorse. Accusatory stage: when police shift their attention from general investigation to building a case against a specific person, what happens when the interview becomes an interrogation, miranda rights. Creating balance: balancing the needs of law enforcement with individual rights. Reasons to interrogate: many crimes would go unsolved, unless caught in the act criminals would not confess, police have to use less refine methods when they interrogate suspects. The const and self incrim: 14th, 6th, 5th, due process clause, and self incrim clause.
