Police arrested Rock Rocco for driving under the influence of alcohol. At the station house, and without offering any Miranda warning, they asked him his name, address, and home phone number
Rocky's speech was a bit slurred and he had to struggle to remember his home phone number. The officers videotaped the questions and answers. The next morning, while Rocky was still in custody, the officer took Rocky to a conference room where they played the videotape of the above conversation. After viewing the tape, Rocky said, "Boy, I sure musta been a bit under the influence. Could have been all those beers!" Rocky's attorney would like to have Rocky's response to the video tape suppressed since his attorney contended that the playing of the videotape to Rocky violated the principles and spirit of Miranda. The trial judge should
A) suppress Rocky's response to the videotape from being admitted in court since the officers coerced Rocky into making a statement after allowing him to observe the videotape from the prior night.
B) allow Rocky's response to the videotape to be admitted in evidence since Rocky was clearly sober when he uttered his statement the next morning.
C) allow Rocky's response to the tape to be admitted in court since the officers were merely showing him a tape of his prior night's performance in response to routine booking questions and were not violating any requirement of the Miranda warnings.
D) suppress Rocky's response to the videotape taken after he was arrested since the officers should not have asked Rocky his name or uttered any other questions without giving Rocky his Miranda warnings immediately after arrest.
E) suppress Rocky's response to the videotape taken after he was arrested since the officers, in effect, interrogated Rocky while he was in custody by showing him the tape the next morning.
