What is frightening.... Everything said before he was mirandized, is not admissible in court.
The guy had the right to remain silent, from the minute they found him in the boat.
Your going to see this guy walk from the laws being broke to convict him.
Protocol and procedure. The guy is an American citizen and a human, deserving his civil rights, no matter what he is accused of.
He's not going to walk.
Nothing that he said before he was Mirandized is necessary to convict him.
We have a suspect. We have photos and video of that suspect taking a bomb into a public place and leaving it behind. We have computer hard drives showing that the suspect visited a website and studied how to make the bomb. We have sales receipts that show that the suspect purchased the components of the bomb. We have a witness to whom the suspect confessed. We have information to establish a motive, we have a timeline showing the suspect was at the scene of the crime when the crime was being committed. We have compelling evidence to convict the suspect, without using anything that he said before being read his rights.
He was always entitled to his rights, but the government is not always obligated to inform a suspect of these rights. And as long as the government doesn't try to use any of his pre-Miranda statements, which they have no need to use, then none of his rights have been violated.
Yes the Supreme Court has ruled on this, but they havent ruled what many think they have.
You absolutely DO NOT need your miranda warnings read to you. The guy the warning is named after, "Miranda" actully had his admission thrown out, he was then retried, and again found guilty, without ever having been rad his miranda warning.
There are how many threads on this subject and people still havent learned?
Why are you so up in arms about American citizens been read their rights in the judicial process? Why does this bother you so much? Would you rather be in North Korea? You can always move. Just sayin...
Why do so many conservatives have such contempt for the US Constitution?
I am asking the same thing. There is nothing that conservatives hate more than the Constitution and our values as a country. I've always been suspicious of their pseudo-patriotism.
