Criminal Law : Child Molestation – Miranda
Stephanie Maniscalco//December 4, 2014//
Where a defendant in a child molestation case challenged the admission of statements to police because the detective did not give him Miranda warnings prior to asking general background questions, the defendant did not show that he was coerced into giving his post-Miranda statements or that his waiver was involuntary, so the trial court did not err in denying the motion to suppress.
Judgment is affirmed.
