Does the trial court have to exclude the police interviews of defendant York from his Miranda rights?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. York, 2d Crim. No. B248730 (Cal. App. 2015):
York contends the trial court should have excluded his police interviews because the prosecution did not establish that he voluntarily and knowingly relinquished his right to remain silent and his right to counsel. (Miranda v. Arizona, supra, 384 U.S. 436, 475.) The record supports the trial court's conclusion that York voluntarily and knowingly gave up his Miranda rights when he freely responded to questions, fully understanding his rights.
