ABSTRACT

Chapter 6 provides coverage of the main constitutional and statutory restrictions on police interrogations and use of confessions—namely, the due process free and voluntary requirement, the McNabb-Mallory delay in arraignment rule, the Miranda custodial interrogation rule, and the Sixth Amendment right to counsel; the phases in development of a criminal case when each of them apply; what they require; how to obtain a valid waiver; and restrictions on use of confessions obtained in violation of these rules.
