What are the Miranda rights of a defendant in custody?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Silva, C066973 (Cal. App. 2013):
Prior to custodial interrogation, a defendant must be warned of his or her Miranda rights. Unless a defendant is properly advised of these rights and voluntarily, knowingly, and intelligently waives them, statements made during custodial interrogation are inadmissible in a criminal trial to prove guilt. (People v. Sims (1993) 5 Cal.4th 405, 440.)
