California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Barajas, F066418 (Cal. App. 2015):
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." (Miranda, supra, 384 U.S. at p. 444.) The warnings need not, however, "be given in the exact form described in that decision." (Duckworth v. Eagan (1989) 492 U.S. 195, 202 (Duckworth). So long as they "touch[] all of the bases required by Miranda," they are adequate. (Id. at p. 203.)
