What is the effect of reciting a pre-admonition recitation of a defendant's Miranda rights?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Gray, 135 Cal.App.3d 859, 185 Cal.Rptr. 772 (Cal. App. 1982):
According to appellant, this pre-admonition recitation by the officers amounted to "a clever softening-up" of appellant, making his subsequent decision to speak to them less than voluntary, even after a "normal" admonition and waiver of "Miranda rights." In taking this position, appellant compares himself to the accused in People v. Honeycutt (1977) 20 Cal.3d 150, 141 Cal.Rptr. 698, 570 P.2d 1050.
