And...scene. RT @adamsavader BREAKING: NBC Reporting that Suspect #2 has been Mirandized by the FBI.— Monica Crowley (@MonicaCrowley) April 20, 2013
If we lockdown 5 million Americans to find two terrorists with pressure cooker explosives, what will the government do when the Iranians or the Chinese send over 200 terrorists with explosives, lock down all 300 million Americans?
yep.
I don’t think that’s out of the ordinary, unless there was reason to believe they were part of a vast network of foreigners here plotting more.
Miranda is a court decision I recall.
I repeat: They should have taken him to a black site and water boarded him!
Thank you for your support! /S
One good thing about him being a citizen. If our govt grew a pair and went after him as having done the bombing as an act of war ... I believe that would technically be treason. And you know the penalty for that.
Possibility of bombs that need to be located?
He is a U.S. Citizen, not an enemy combatant. Traitors are entitled to Miranda rights, as it turns out. He should be executed and certainly will, but it will be done by the rule of law.
Perhaps you should sign up for the Obama Executive Order drafting team. You seem very willing to disregard the rule of law.
Ummm... No...
Why would they fear drone strikes in the USA?
A bigger question is whether Holder would be willing to seek the federal death penalty, even though it appears he has grounds to do so. I think no.
I agree. He will plea to a life sentence and do a long stretch in ADMAX. The Dems will want this neatly wrapped up before the elections next year.
The entire Islamic world will be outraged and will demand revenge.
Well, I see Twitter strikes again.
I heard from the district DA - live - she said NO - HE WAS NOT MIRANDIZED.
People need to stop using Twitter as a source of good info .. it’s NOT a good source at all.
Not mirandizing this kid as a practical matter gains nothing for the reasons I gave, but potentially could seriously complicate the prosecution.
If the defense lawyers can successfully challenge the exemption, then not only the statements made by the defendant must be excluded from evidence, but also any OTHER evidence that in turn is found based on clues from the inadmissible statement (the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine). There are a number of exceptions to this exception, but you've just handed the defense something to fight with as you litigate whether it falls within the exceptions to the exception. You get a stupid judge or a left-wing wacko judge, and the prosecutors might get screwed.
Since Obama is not going to enhance interrogate this guy anyway, just read him his rights and get on with it.
Tenured professorship at the Ivy League school of your choice?
......”The information about who his contacts are and who supported him and his brother is more important”....
Exactly! and the only reason the kid wasn’t shot dead.
It’s not irony. He selected that date to become a citizen.
I thought the guy was in critical condition. From the picture I say I wouldn’t think he be able to understand his rights.
Keep in min...the suspect won’t be the only one lawyering up!
Understood...I think..but lawyers can attempt to take that apart and may do so.
Either or...information is far more critical IMO..I’m very glad they got him alive...now lets hope he lives thru “critical”..or someone doesn’t get to him first.
NBC reported it and we believed it. Will we ever learn?
