Can a statement obtained in violation of the Miranda rights be admitted as evidence in a criminal case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Petty, H045503 (Cal. App. 2019):

"A statement obtained in violation of a suspect's Miranda rights may not be admitted to establish guilt in a criminal case. [Citation.] 'In reviewing the trial court's denial of a suppression motion on Miranda and involuntariness grounds, " ' "we accept the trial court's resolution of disputed facts and inferences, and its evaluations of credibility, if supported by substantial evidence. We independently determine from the undisputed facts and the facts properly found by the trial court whether the challenged statement was illegally obtained." ' " [Citations.] Where, as was the case here, an interview is recorded, the facts surrounding the admission or confession are undisputed and we may apply independent review.' [Citation.] We review issues concerning the suppression of such statements under federal constitutional standards. [Citation.]" (People v. Jackson (2016) 1 Cal.5th 269, 339.)
