The following excerpt is from People v. Superior Court, 2 Cal.App.3d 197, 82 Cal.Rptr. 463 (Cal. App. 1969):
'* * * 'You have the right to remain silent. Anything that you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have him present with you while you are being questioned. If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you before any questioning, if you wish one. Do you understand each of these rights that I have explained to you? * * * A * * * Yes, I understand.'"""
These were sufficient. (People v. Johnson, 70 A.C. 577, 594, 75 Cal.Rptr. 401, 450 P.2d 865.)
