Today’s police interrogators train in communication, behavioral science, and legal procedures (Police Interrogations) I find it hard to believe that a team would have extensive training in both forensics and police interrogation techniques and that the forensic work and the interrogations would happen in the same place as interrogations are conducted in a designated area, usually in a police station (Police Interrogations). It is required that statements be made voluntarily and without threat (Police Interrogations). In CSI, the people being interrogated were threatened with legal punishments if they did not cooperate.

Some circumstances allow prosecution to use statements made by a suspect after invoking Miranda, so long as it is not a result of further police questioning (Questioning). In crime TV this is often portrayed inaccurately as police often continue to question a suspect in the hopes they will feel compelled to answer questions to maintain innocence after they have requested an attorney or remain silent. If a person in interrogation requests a lawyer to look over a police document before they sign it police may continue to question because the lawyer was requested only for the document and not for the entire interrogation (Quesioning). If someone is arrested twice in a short span of time they must reassert their Miranda rights. They can remain silent for the first interrogation, however if they choose to talk in an interrogation the evidence gathered is admissible in court because it is up to them to assert their right to remain silent each time

hold off on Miranda. It’s exactly what the name of the exception suggests. The police can interrogate a suspect without offering him the benefit of Miranda if he could have information that’s of urgent concern for public safety. That may or may not be the case with Tsarnaev. The problem is that Attorney General Eric Holder has stretched the law beyond that scenario. And that should trouble anyone who worries about the police railroading suspects, which can end in false confessions. No matter how unsympathetic…
