Thanks again .. any word on whether it's a net good/bad thing ?
As long as lacking Miranda doesn't shield the maggot somehow, bearing in mind the ACLoons will surely be involved.
I’m hoping for the waterboarding public safety exemption.
Just getting him alive to avert a “Martyrdom” is already a big win!
LOL .. seriously !
I did too...ha.Couldn’t get live streaming at work , so they were all glued to my computer at breaks!!
Great stuff though, takes me back... haven't seen a day on FR like this since the fall of Baghdad.
Only this time, FOX and CNN were basically comedy shows compared to what was available on the net.
Just think > 2 more down, and only another few hundred million to go +/-
Yep...great thread...it’s amazing to see how slow the networks are with what is really going on...how delayed they are and how clueless at times...
You got it. "no miranda right will be given...public safety being invoked announced on Friday, April 19, 2013 6:14:22 PM"
I followed this thread most all day. We went to dinner with friends this evening and they catch the guy while I’m away :) Just glad he’s caught!
Public safety exception
The Miranda rule is not, however, absolute. An exception exists in cases of "public safety". This limited and case-specific exception allows certain unadvised statements (given without Miranda warnings) to be admissible into evidence at trial when they were elicited in circumstances where there was great danger to public safety.[8]
The public safety exception derives from New York v. Quarles, a case in which the Supreme Court considered the admissibility of a statement elicited by a police officer who apprehended a rape suspect who was thought to be carrying a firearm. The arrest took place in a crowded grocery store. When the officer arrested the suspect, he found an empty shoulder holster, handcuffed the suspect, and asked him where the gun was. The suspect nodded in the direction of the gun (which was near some empty cartons) and said, "The gun is over there". The Supreme Court found that such an unadvised statement was admissible in evidence because "[i]n a kaleidoscopic situation such as the one confronting these officers, where spontaneity rather than adherence to a police manual is necessarily the order of the day, the application of the exception we recognize today should not be made to depend on post hoc findings at a suppression hearing concerning the subjective motivation of the police officer".[9] Thus, the jurisprudential rule of Miranda must yield in "a situation where concern for public safety must be paramount to adherence to the literal language of the prophylactic rules enunciated in Miranda". The rule of Miranda is not, therefore, absolute and can be a bit more elastic in cases of public safety.[8]
You make excellant points. It will be a while for this to go to trial. Hopefully we will have a conservative President and more conservatives in Congress..maybe it won’t be quite such a charade.
I guess the euphoria of tonite has temporarily effected my usual growing cynicism...ha.
