The constitutional issue being decided in this case is the admissibility of statements obtained from a defendant questioned before he was in police custody. (Hall, 2015). The defendant was not read his Miranda rights at the beginning of his interrogation or questioning. Although the defendant gave incriminating statements they would be inadmissible at trial until the point that his Miranda rights were read. After the defendant confessed to killing the victim question 3 states that Officer Norman restrained him. He then retrieved the bat and asked Tom why he killed the victim, at this point the motive was taken unconstitutionally. Confessions and admissions to of guilt is controversial. Congress reacted to McNabb- Mallory and Miranda by enacting …show more content…

(Mannheime, 2016). Evidence excluded from trials because it is unconstitutionally obtained and evidence that is excluded because it would be unconstitutional to use it. Evidence obtained unconstitutionally is governed by 2 theories. One the evidence is excluded because the police have obtained it unconstitutionally and exclusion is thought to be desirable to deter police behavior in the future by precluding a benefit from the conduct. The other theory the evidence is excluded because the constitution guarantees the defendant a procedural right to exclude the evidence. Again, the evidence would be suppressed because the defendant was not read his Miranda rights while being questioned. The exclusion to this would be the age of the defendant while confessing. (Burke, 2005). Under the totality of the circumstances test factors such as age, experience, education, background, and intelligence are considered to the circumstances surrounding the confession. The Miranda decision states that an officer does not have to interrupt a confession to read the Miranda

The Missouri v. Seibert case does not overrule Oregon v. Elstad. Instead this case decides on when the ruling or decision made in Elstad would be applicable. Officers should now be able to look at situations and decide when it is an appropriate time to give Miranda Warnings. It also guides officers in making sure to give the speech to the defendant before interrogation has happened, or when it may be a situation that could count as a form of interrogation. If there is a second interrogation, the defendant should have the rights read before to keep both sets of information given from being inadmissible in the

Can the confession Miranda gave be used in trial against him? In a 5-4 decision, the court determined that in order for an interrogation and the statements made on behalf of the defendant to be considered as evidence, and in order to protect the accused, the accused needs to be aware of the fact that he/she has the right to an attorney, aware of self incrimination, and will need to voluntarily give up their right to these things if they choose to do so. In this case it was decided that it was not acceptable to use the confession Miranda made against him, and his rights were violated. If any of these criteria are not met, any statements made during an interrogation cannot be used against the defendant, otherwise their rights would be violated. This case is very significant because it changed the way officers perform their duties, and all accused must be read their miranda

Because Miranda was not informed of his fifth or sixth amendment, the court heard this case to clarify the procedure of making suspects aware that they have the right to an attorney as well as the right to not self incriminate. The prosecution believed he voluntarily disregarded his right to counsel as well as his right to remain silent after being informed by the police. They argued that no amendment was violated because the confession that was made by Miranda was evidence that could be used against him in court when he could have remained silent. The prosecution argued that his confession was permissible to be used as evidence in the court of his criminal case.

The Arizona Supreme Court denied his appeal and the conviction was upheld (Harr, Hess & Orthmann, 2012). The Fifth Amendment and Sixth Amendments to the Constitution are guaranteed which raised the fundamental question in the case regarding the role of the police in protecting rights of those accused (Harr, Hess & Orthmann, 2012). The Fifth Amendment guarantees that in any criminal case, no person shall be a witness against himself (Harr, Hess & Orthmann, 2012). The Sixth Amendment on the other hand provides that in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall be entitled to have assistance of a counsel for his defense (Harr, Hess & Orthmann,

Arizona ruling was the correct one constitutionally. Fundamental rights that must be upheld include the right to counsel guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment and the Fifth Amendment's prohibition on self-incrimination. The police shouldn't be able to coerce suspects into giving up their rights or deceive them into doing so in order to get confessions. Suspects are given Miranda warnings so they are aware of their rights and can decide for themselves whether or not to speak with the police. Therefore the decision was constitutionally correct as Miranda did not expressly request legal representation, so his constitutional rights were not infringed, the Supreme Court of Arizona said upon

The exclusionary rule, as applied today, states that any evidence that was found using an unconstitutional method is also unconstitutional; therefore, inadmissible in court. This is because criminal proceedings are to be fair and impartial (i.e. “reason and truth”). I agree, by allowing the exclusionary rule into proceedings, the rights of the defendants are protected. Although the defendants may be guilty, there has to be a system in which the police should also be held accountable for the way they proceed in practice. The criminal proceeding is adversarial with the ultimate goal for both sides being to let the evidence and circumstances prove the truth; therefore, the way the evidence is gather should be a critical element towards a conviction.

Most often, this rule is applied when the confession violates Miranda. Of course, the latter definition is the result of the notorious Miranda v. Arizona, a case infamous for its conflict with the defendant’s knowledge of his own rights (Worrall 2007). The exclusionary rule can be cited in one of three major cases, including those involving: standing, impeachment, and fruit of the poisonous tree (Worrall 2007). First is the role of the exclusionary rule in standing cases. Couch v United States held that one’s knowledge of their Miranda rights is a personal right (Worrall 2007).
