The following excerpt is from Medeiros v. Shimoda, 889 F.2d 819 (9th Cir. 1989):
1 "Prior to any questioning, the person must be warned that he has a right to remain silent, that any statement he does make may be used as evidence against him, and that he has a right to the presence of an attorney, either retained or appointed. The defendant may waive effectuation of these rights, provided the waiver is made voluntarily, knowingly, and intelligently." Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. at 444, 86 S.Ct. at 1612.
