Does a minor have a right to remain silent during an interrogation?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Level, 102 Cal.App.3d 897, 162 Cal.Rptr. 682 (Cal. App. 1980):
3 Appellant who was 19 years old at the time has limited his claim that his confession was not admissible to denial of his right to remain silent, thus we do not have the problem of a minor's right to have his parents present during interrogation under People v. Burton, 6 Cal.3d 375, 99 Cal.Rptr. 1, 491 P.2d 793, to which the Attorney General devoted a good portion of respondent's brief.
