On a hot Florida day, Detective Dave Furhman finally solved a tough case. He arrested the kidnapper of a young girl and slapped handcuffs on him
The kidnap victim was believed to be hidden inside the trunk of an automobile parked in a nearby parking garage. Her condition and precise location was unknown to Furhman but, in his haste to find out which car in which she was hidden, he immediately asked the arrestee, "Which car is the girl in?" The arrestee answered that she was inside the trunk of a red four-door 2008 Chevrolet Malibu in the adjacent parking garage. Detective Furhman shouted to a fellow officer, "Read him his rights! I gotta get the girl out of the trunk!" The fellow officer read the Miranda rights to the arrestee at this time. On these facts, Detective Furhman A) will be prohibited from testifying about what the arrestee said to him because Detective Furhman interrogated the arrestee prior to frisking the arrestee for weapons. B) will not be allowed to testify concerning what the arrestee said about the girl's location since Furhman neglected to read the arrestee his Miranda rights prior to interrogating him. C) will be permitted to testify about what the arrestee said to him concerning the girl's location under an exception to the Miranda warnings. D) should be prepared for a civil suit from the arrestee since Detective Furhman had the other officer read the Miranda warnings to the arrestee-kidnapper later than they should have been read. E) should be allowed to testify what the arrestee said since the Miranda warnings only apply to interrogations at police stations.
