Annotation
DETAILED EXAMINATION OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH PRETRIAL STATEMENTS MADE BY A SUSPECT OR DEFENDANT MAY BE USED BY THE POLICE AS EVIDENCE IN COURT.
Abstract
THREE DIFFERENT POLICE INVESTIGATIVE SITUATIONS ARE REPRESENTED TO ILLUSTRATE WHEN A POLICEMAN MUST ADVISE A SUSPECT OF HIS RIGHT AGAINST SELF-INCRIMINATION. THE TWO SITUATIONS REQUIRING A MIRANDA WARNING - WHEN A SUSPECT IS DEPRIVED OF FREEDOM OF ACTION OR IS IN CUSTODY - ARE ALSO CAREFULLY DEFINED. THE IMPORTANCE OF THE TYPE OF POLICE QUESTIONING - GENERAL, INVESTIGATIVE OR ACCUSATORY - AND THE PLACE OF QUESTIONING IN DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT A SUSPECT SHOULD BE 'READ HIS RIGHTS' IS ALSO EMPAHSIZED. IN ADDITION, THE EXCEPTIONS TO THE MIRANDA WARNING REQUIREMENT ARE CITED. A SEPARATE TRAINING MANUAL ACCOMPANIES THIS FILM. A COPY OF THE TRAINING MANUAL IS ON FILE. FOR THE OTHER TWO FILMS IN THIS SERIES - 'WAIVER OF RIGHTS' AND 'VOLUNTARY CONFESSIONS' - SEE NCJ-25623 AND NCJ-25624.
