Does a failure to admonish a defendant of his right to counsel during interrogation constitute actual coercion?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Paries, 87 F.3d 1324 (9th Cir. 1996):
declined to treat the failure to admonish a defendant of his right to counsel during interrogation and his right to remain silent as the equivalent of actual coercion which would taint and render inadmissible a subsequent voluntary statement made after a proper warning and waiver.
United States v. Lewis, 833 F.2d 1380, 1386 (9th Cir.1987), citing Oregon v. Elstad, 470 U.S. 298, 318 (1985).
