When a person is placed under arrest, and read their miranda rights, is the first thing they are told, you have the right to remain silent?
If you confess after that point, how can your confession be thrown out? If you are so stupid to keep talking, shouldn't your confession be heard in court. Isn't it more criminal for a judge to throw out a confession of somebody like that Couey creep who killed that little girl Jessica. Why don't they let him go free and I'll execute the bastard myself.

i agree, if someone confesses to something, that should be the end of the story. however, there should always be a video of the confession, that way a person cant be held in a room for 20 hours and shot up with sodium pentathol and forced to confess to something. and, i can understand that police need to back up a confession. if someone confesses falsely, they might be doing it to protect the real killer, who's out there still killing others. but yeah, anytime i hear about someone killing a child, and they confess, they should be put to death. i hate the lawyers that find ways out of it for them. thats messed up. they should get something like this, superglue their balls to the floor, give them a dull knife and light the room on fire, then stand outside the door with a shotgun, and wait to see if they come out.

Well after the suspect is Mirandized, they are asked if they understand those rights. If they say yes and sign away their rights, then anything they say from that point on can be incriminating evidence in the courts. However, if the person does not agree to waive their rights and does NOT sign the Miranda warning, then anything they say is not legal to present in the courts.
During the discovery process, the defense, will look closely to determine if the defendant waived his/her Miranda rights.
This law protects the 5th and 6th amendments to the Constitution by protecting the Due process clause and the Rights of the Accused Clause.

Remember, even the worst criminals have rights.

When someone says, "I want a lawyer," questioning needs to stop immediately and if the cops continue to speak to them, anything they say after that is inadmissable. It's so very well established in law that any police officer should be fired for not following it.
