Does the absence of a Miranda warning constitute a breach of the Miranda code where the accused's statement was made spontaneously before any questions were asked?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Mattson, 469 F.2d 1234 (9th Cir. 1972):
This argument is easily disposed of. The absence of Miranda warnings is not significant where, as here, the accused's statement is made spontaneously before any questions are asked. See Pitman v. United States, 380 F.2d 368 (9th Cir. 1967).
