What is the test for a claim on appeal that a statement or confession is inadmissible because it was obtained in violation of a defendant's Miranda rights?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Tran, G053008 (Cal. App. 2017):

"In considering a claim on appeal that a statement or confession is inadmissible because it was obtained in violation of a defendant's Miranda rights, we 'review independently the trial court's legal determinations . . . . We evaluate the trial court's factual findings regarding the circumstances surrounding the defendant's statements and waivers and "'accept the trial court's resolution of disputed facts and inferences, and its evaluations of credibility, if supported by substantial evidence.'"' [Citation.]" (People v. Dykes (2009) 46 Cal.4th 731, 751.) We are required to consider the totality of the circumstances. (Moran v. Burbine (1986) 475 U.S. 412.)
