FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT
A suspect is apprehended in
a large-chain grocery store by the security guard. The suspect is placed in
handcuffs and taken to the manager’s office. The police are called and advised
of the situation. Officer Jones arrives at the store approximately 12 minutes
later. Officer Jones takes a statement from the security guard and views the
in-store camera film of the shop lifting incident. Officer Jones places the
suspect under arrest, reads the suspect the Miranda warnings, and asks the
suspect if he would like to make a statement. The suspect replies, “No, I would
like a lawyer”. The suspect is then transported to the local jail and booked.
Five (5) hours later, the suspect is interviewed by a detective who again reads
him the Miranda warning. The detective then asks the suspect if he would like
to talk. The suspect says, “Yes”. He eventually confesses to the crime.
