What if a suspect indicates that he wants to make a statement while he's in jail and wants to talk to a lawyer and officers wait for three days before notifying counsel. In the meantime, the suspect has confessed
How would you rule on the admissibility of that confession?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: Answers may vary: Voluntary and spontaneous confessions are an exception to receiving Miranda warnings. The analysis would center on the officers' conduct in delaying obtaining counsel for the suspect and whether the delay was an intentional tactic to subvert the suspect's constitutional rights.
