It wasn’t Obama’s call. In fact I’m betting someone is trying to ‘splain it to him right now.
So a kid who grew up watching American TV shows and movies is unaware of his Miranda rights?
Just a thought, but if the police are normally required to remind people of their Miranda rights, shouldn't they be routinely reminding everyone of their Second Amendment rights as well?
Boston Police announcement I would like to hear:
"We believe the two murdering terrorists are in the area. Local citizens are reminded that almost all law abiding citizens have the right to keep and bear arms - a right that shall not be infringed. If you call 9-1-1, the police will arrive within five to ten minutes in this emergency, while a .45 ACP will arrive at over 1000 feet per minute. Do the math."
We have the leftist criminal friendly Earl Warren court to thank for the abominable Miranda requirement. Unfortunately, the punk terrorist wasn’t gunned down. Now the sub-human will enter the panty waist, criminal friendly criminal injustice system where he will be appointed a sleazy, morally challenged, defense attorney to whine on its behalf, where there will be endless frivolous motions and appeals filed for the next 30 or so years which might end in the sub-human’s death. I hope that when it gets to prison some convict kills it. And if I was on a jury for said convict I would acquit him of all charges.
there's extreme exigent circumstances in play here that allow questioning about other possible bombs/accomplices and a strong possibility of more IED's planted around the city/risk of more deaths they can question within a restricted scope of those topics within a reasonable timeframe to determine if there are other explosives/accomplices about to bomb/attack, etc. if he talks about any other bombs/bombers they can ask about locations/types, etc. plus there's no constitutional requirement to Mirandize if they do not question him or the police do not intend to use anything he said against him in a court of law...
This will almost certainly mean the man will walk free.
(Ask any lawyer.)
The only way around this result (that I can imagine) is to try him (where I believe he should be tried) in a military court. Believe it or not (and it is difficult!) Senator McCain came out right on this issue (see today’s news stories).
Do as Obama wants and try these people in civilian courts and you can BET they will walk free, it is almost a certitude.
All I see is a deliberate opening for the perp to get off on a legal technicality: "What?! You didn't read him his rights?! Let him go!"
I would turn him upside down and pour water down his nose until he spilled his guts or friggin drowned.
People who do what he did need to be interrogated properly.
If he is not under arrest there is a loophole here. Anything he says can be used against him up until the moment he is arrested without being mirandized. After they arrest him then they will mirandize him. Any lawyer worth his salt will tell you to NEVER talk to the police or anyone for that matter if you might be accused of a crime.
He doesn’t need to be given Miranda rights unless they want to use what he says in court. Read below.
Tsarnaev and Miranda Rights
http://www.volokh.com/2013/04/20/tsarnaev-and-miranda-rights/
has revived a constitutionally charged debate over the handling of terrorism cases in the criminal justice system.
Terrorism cases need to be classified as acts of war against the United States. They should never see the inside of a criminal courtroom.
This entire thing to going to turn into a giant circle jerk. Just wait until holder gets more deeply involved. He will screw it up so bad that I would not be surprised if the murderer get set free.
I believe the tax payers would have been better off he he had been found dead.
Miranda was wrongly decided. I couldn’t care less about this little dipshit and what they did or didn’t tell him.
