Answer the following statements true (T) or false (F)
1) Statements that are initiated voluntarily by the defendant are barred by the Miranda decision whether or not the person is in custody. 2) Requiring a person in custody to stand or walk in a police lineup, to speak prescribed words, to model special clothing, or to give samples of handwriting, fingerprints, or blood does not fall under self-incrimination within the meaning of the Fifth Amendment because they are evidentiary. 3) A suspect is entitled to the assistance of counsel during custodial interrogation even though the Constitution does not provide for such assistance. 4) Once the formal process has been initiated against a suspect, his or her Sixth Amendment right to counsel can be violated by less obvious forms of interrogation, such as bugging, eavesdropping, and contact by an informant. 5) The right to counsel under the Sixth Amendment is offense specific. It holds only for the crimes for which the suspect was formally charged; the suspect can be interrogated about unrelated offenses.
