California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Bolden, B260188 (Cal. App. 2016):
7. Our decision is limited to the facts, and we do not decide as a general matter that a recorded jail informant confession following a confession to police is always sufficiently attentuated to be admissible (cf. Missouri v. Seibert (2004) 542 U.S. 600 [improper two step interrogation technique to avoid Miranda].)
