What is the effect of the interrogation of Ivy in the context of marijuana possession allegations?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Cockrell, 43 Cal.Rptr. 510 (Cal. App. 1965):

While it may be said that the process of interrogation had shifted from the investigatory to the accusatory stage, its focus was on Ivy and its purpose was to elicit a confession (Escobedo v. Illinois, 378 U.S. 478, 84 S.Ct. 1758, 12 L.Ed.2d 977), Ivy made no confession. She flatly denied possession and knowledge of any marijuana found on the premises. She also denied knowing how the county funds 'got' there. Her only statement was that a woman came there, gave her some money, got some marijuana, she did not know from whom, and left. This statement contains an implied denial that it was she who gave the woman the narcotics.
