Maryland v. Shatzer and the 14-Day Miranda Rule

摘要

In back-to-back cases in February 2010, the United States Supreme Court expanded one previously known Miranda principle and announced a new "14-day break in Miranda custody" rule, which changed established Miranda protocol.rnFirst, the Court reviewed the language of one police department's Miranda advisement form and reaffirmed that imprecise wording of the Miranda warnings does not invalidate them, as long as the words adequately communicate the essential messages of the four rights identified in Miranda.
