Is there any case law where a defendant alleges that he was coerced into waiving his Miranda right by two police officers?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Molano, 249 Cal.Rptr.3d 1, 443 P.3d 856, 7 Cal.5th 620 (Cal. 2019):
Defendant argues that the officers coerced him into waiving his Miranda rights at the station by engaging in improper softening-up techniques. Specifically, he claims the officers disparaged the victim and appealed to defendant's desire to mend his relationship with his children. He relies primarily on People v. Honeycutt (1977) 20 Cal.3d 150, 141 Cal.Rptr. 698, 570 P.2d 1050
