1987On the other hand, a waiver by a minor, facing a first arrest and with below normal intelligence, might not be “knowing and intelligent.” The second reason for reversal is that the trial court failed to address fully the State’s position that an implied waiver occurred here under North Carolina v. Butler, supra. While the trial court noted that an implied waiver could be “inferred from the actions and words of the person interrogated,” it held that this “is not such a case” without explanation.
