Task: Miranda and Volunteered Statements
Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436 (1966).
Where a suspect voulunteers statements to a law enforcement
officer, the officer need not stop the suspect and all such statements
are admissible in the prosecution’s case notwithstanding the lack of
Miranda warnings.
• Volunteered statements are not the result of government coercion
that Miranda warnings are designed to overcome.
