Hey eeyore, The answer is "A" and it resulted in "The Miranda Rights" that are still neglected by law enforcement frequently and sadly!

If memory serves me correctly it sounds like Miranda versus Arizona. However, I do not think the gentleman in question was arrested for supposedly killing a brother-in- law but for drug possession.
Also, this may be a case with a precedent that mirrored Miranda versus Arizona or an extension of that law through another case. If this is the situation, I'm not certain which of these cases if any it applies to.
My recommendation is to type in the names of those cases and read the results and descriptions carefully. My second inclination is Escobedo v Illinois. Yet, I'm not one hundred precent sure, since I'm a teacher and writer and not a lawyer.
Whether you are awaiting an answer or not, research this yourself so that you can cross reference it. Don't just take someone else's word for it.
Besides researching it, perhaps you could consult a paralegal. Even though there case loads are heavy and they have pressing matters, they seem like the logical parties to contact for affirmation.

A.
But from what I've heard, some judge has suspended Miranda rights for some obtuse reason.
