1993“Miranda warnings are mandated only where a suspect is both in custody and subjected to interrogation as these terms are understood under the Miranda doctrine.” State v. Philbrick, 436 A.2d 844, 848 (Me.1981) (citations omitted). “[T]he trial court’s finding of no custodial interrogation will be upheld if the record provides rational support for that determination.” State v.

2010As a general rule, Miranda warnings should issue in every circumstance where a defendant is both: "(1) 'in custody'; and (2) 'subject to interrogation.'" Slale v. Higgins, 2002 ME 77 , ~ 12, 796 A.2d 54 (quoting Slale v, Michaud, 1998 ME 251 , ~ 3, 724 A.2d 1222,1226 ); accord Slale v. Bleyl, 435 A.2d 1349 , 13 58-60 (Me. 1981).

2003State v. Bleyl, et al., 435 A.2d 1349, 1357, n.5 (Me. 1981)(”“A defendant must be both under interrogation and in custody for Miranda warnings to be requisite”) (emphasis supplied).

2022The Court reaffirmed its holding in State v. Mikulewicz, 462 A.2d 497, 500-01 (Me. 1983) that "[a] confession is voluntary if it results from the free choice of a rational mind, if it not a product of coercive police conduct, and if under all of the circumstances its admission would be fundamentally fair." Some of the relevant factors that may be considered by the court in making the voluntariness assessment, include: the details of the interrogation; duration of the interrogation; location of the interrogation; whether the interrogation was custodial; the recitation of Miranda warnings; the n

2022The totality of the circumstances may include: the details of the interrogation; duration of the interrogation; location of the interrogation; whether the interrogation was custodial; the recitation of Miranda warnings; the number of officers involved; the persistence of the officers; police trickery; threats, promises or inducements made to the defendant; and the defendant's age, physical and mental health, emotional stability, and conduct. 7 Id. "ii 22. (quoting State v. George, 2012 ME 64 , "ii 21, 52 A.3d 903 ).

2019We hold today that a suspect who has once responded to unwarned yet uncoercive questioning is not thereby disabled from waiving his rights and confessing after he has been given the requisite Miranda warnings. 470 U.S. at 318 .

2012The U.S. Supreme Court has continued to uphold the provisions of Miranda because of the inherent potential for abuse, and the "[f]ailure to administer Miranda warnings creates a presumption of compulsion." Oregon v. Elstad, 470 U.S. 298, 307 (1985).

2021In Rhode Island v. Innis, 446 U.S. 291, 300-01 (1980) the United States Supreme Court held that the "term 'interrogation' under Miranda refers not only to express questioning but also to any words or actions on the part of the police ( other than those normally attendant to arrest or custody) that the police should know are reasonably likely to elicit an incriminating response from the suspect." The court agrees with the Defendant that the statements made by Agent Walker prior to his administration of the Miranda warnings/rights, were such that he knew or should have known were reasonably like

[¶42] Hopkins’s contention that Miranda warnings should have been reread during the second interview with the deputy, the videotaped walk-though interview with the detective, and the interview conducted with the detective in his police cruiser, is unavailing.

2017We “will uphold the court’s denial of a motion to suppress if any reasonable view of the evidence supports the trial court’s decision.” State v. Kittredge, 2014 ME 90, ¶ 15 , 97 A.3d 106 (quotation marks omitted). [¶12] Miranda warnings are necessary only when a defendant is both “in custody” and “subject to interrogation.” Nadeau, 2010 ME 71, ¶ 53 , 1 A.3d 445 (quotation marks omitted).

2024The Law Court, interpreting Missouri v. Seibert, 542 U.S. 600, 617 (2004), has held that when law enforcement has elicited a pre-warning confession before administering Miranda warnings and eliciting a post-warning confession, “the State bears the burden of demonstrating by a preponderance of the evidence that the two-step procedure was not deliberately employed to undermine the efficacy of the Miranda warnings.” State v. Nightingale, 2012 ME 132 , { 29, 58 A.3d 1057 .

2019The plurality opinion pointed out that "the facts here . . . by any objective measure reveal a police strategy adapted to undermine the Miranda warnings." 542 U.S. at 616 .

2018It is true that "[r]eviewing courts ... need not examine Miranda warnings as if construing a will or defining the terms of an easement." Duckworth, 492 U.S. at 8 203.

2016Marden, 673 A.2d at 1308-09 . [¶15] “The prophylactic Miranda warnings are not themselves rights protected by the Constitution but are instead measures to insure that the right against compulsory self-incrimination is protected.” Duckworth v. Eagan, 492 U.S. 195, 203 (1989) (alterations omitted) (quotation marks omitted).

Richardson, 917 N.E.2d 501, 516-17 (Ill. 2009) (stating that in determining whether incidental use of physical force renders a confession 23 involuntary, “[c]ourts look to factors such as gaps in time between the use of force and the confession, changed interrogators or location, and renewed Miranda warnings”); see also Lyons, 322 U.S. at 602-05 ; United States v. Denton, 246 F.3d 784, 786-88 (6th Cir. 2001).

2021It 21 explained that Miranda warnings preceding a defendant’s statement do not necessarily, and cannot alone, purge the taint of an illegal search or seizure under the Fourth Amendment but that such warnings are “an important factor . . . in determining whether the confession is obtained by exploitation of an illegal arrest.” Id. at 602-03 .

2012In Brown , the Court considered whether statements made by Brown after an illegal arrest "were to be excluded as the fruit of the illegal arrest, or were admissible because the giving of the Miranda warnings sufficiently attenuated the taint of the arrest." 422 U.S. at 591-92 , 95 S.Ct. 2254 .

2018Ile did not stop the interview. 3 ANALYSIS Waiver of Miranda In order for defendant's statements made to Detective Martin to be admissible, "the State bears the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence , that (1) law enforcement officers properly delivered Miranda warnings to the suspect before commencing the interrogation , and (2) the suspect knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waived the privilege protected by the warnings."

2007The Court says: The United States Supreme Court has defined "custodial interrogation" as "questioning initiated by law enforcements after a person has been taken into custody or otherwise deprived of his freedom of action in any significant way." Therefore, a Miranda warning is necessary only if a defendant is: "(I) in custody; and (2) subject to interrogation." State v. Swett, 1998 NIB 76, 709 A.2d 729 . 5 The Michaud court goes on to explain that a defendant is "in custody" if subject to either: "(a) a formal arrest; or (b) a restraint on freedom of movement [to] the degree associated with a

2002See id. [¶ 11] Separately, the record supports the suppression court’s findings that Leonard was not subject to interrogation, but that the statements Leonard made while being transported to the hospital, after his arrest, were voluntary and spontaneous, and, therefore, he did not require Miranda warnings.

2014These factors are “(1) whether police immediately cease the interrogation when the [suspect] invokes the right to remain silent; (2) whether a significant amount of time passes before questioning is resumed; (3) whether fresh Miranda warnings are provided; and (4) whether the later ‘interrogation is restricted to matters distinct from the former.’ ” Grant, 2008 ME 14, ¶ 42 , 939 A.2d 93 (quoting Rossignol, 627 A.2d at 527 ); see Mosley, 423 U.S. at 104-107 , 96 S.Ct. 321 .
