A New Decision

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

It’s time to report on our old friend the Supreme Court. Their latest decision has come down and the results are in. Anyone who requests a lawyer has only fourteen days to do so before their request becomes invalid. This means that police can question people without repeating the Miranda Rights.

The case was based on a man who confessed to a crime after he was released from custody. The court ruled that anyone who answers questions by police does not have to have their Miranda rights repeated to them. The good news is that anyone still does not have to answer any questions without a lawyer present. It is good that everyone know what their rights are.
