That Miranda isn't even close.<br /><br />The defendant must be quite a jerk to have been "expelled" fron a central American country.<br /><br />Also, how do you do a self defense with the client not testfying?<br /><br />Looks like he may get off and Ana Gardner gets a job as a waitress.<br /><br />Just wondering....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-70417637777502927732013-10-10T12:57:19.375-04:002013-10-10T12:57:19.375-04:00Don't be surprised if this one makes its way t...Don't be surprised if this one makes its way to the Supremes in Washington. The kind of hair splitting that would catch the attention of at least 4 Justices to grant cert. Especially since the end result here is that a killer will go free.

Great majority of crim defendants are dumb. Id wager if you did a study where you rattled off Miranda to a group of average IQ adults then tested their comprehension five minutes later you'd learn how much this practice is worth. Add to the mix that people hear Miranda in high stress situations where they are unlikely to be able to process abstract ideas.<br /><br />It's even worse with Jury Instructions. We persist in subjecting a sitting jury, who has just been made to listen to hours or days of testimony to another 30 minutes of instructions read at them, without even the benefit of reading along. How much legal instruction do you think the average adult can receive, process and understand out of thirty minutes of quick oral recitation?<br /><br />All this shit might as well be in Chinese. If Miranda were understood at all, we'd never see a confession.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
