Were Gonzalez-Lauzan's statements made after Miranda warnings were read admissible?
Officers took Gonzalez-Lauzan, who was serving a ten-month sentence for violating supervised release on a previous conviction to a federal court house to question him abut his involvement in a murder. The officers agreed among themselves in advance not to administer Miranda warnings, and instructed Gonzalez-Lauzan several times just to listen and told him that they did not have any questions. "The officers hoped that the strength of this evidence would persuade Gonzalez-Lauzan to talk about his participation in the killing." Approximately two-and-a-half hours into the meeting, Gonzalez-Lauzan stated suddenly, "okay, you got me." He was then immediately read his Miranda rights, signed a waiver form, and subsequently made multiple incriminating statements during the interrogation. What will be an ideal response?
