Ex: if a police officer makes you write a confession in an interrogation, then that documents would be suppressed. In Fisher, the government did not force anyone to do anything. Therefore the documents are able to enter the court 4. The fisher case also says, though, that forcing someone to turn over the documents can be self incriminating a. If the ACT of turning it over is an admission, then the fifth amendment is triggered i. Ex: if the government doesn't KNOW that the documents exist and you turn them over it's an admission and its testimonial ii. Ex: turning something over could be an admission that you are 'in control' of the document in question. For example if there is a smoking gun document but the police don't know who exactly has it. They could subpoena a couple people and the person who turns it over shows that they have control over the documents that is damning

Fifth Amendment: Confessions - Exceptions to the Miranda Rule - Impeaching a Defendant with Silence - Doyle v. Ohio (1976)
After Miranda warnings are given, the due process clause prohibits the government from using the defendant's silence against him even for impeachment purposes fundamentally unfair - 14A issue (DPC) fundamentally unfair to use this silence against him, so it is a violation of 14A DPC right to use this against him. It is fundamentally unfair because nothing says if you do not talk that will be used against you. Basically, Miranda infers that if you do not talk that cannot be used against you. It says anything you say or do can be used against you, so silence is basically promising that it won't be used against you. when read Miranda warnings inferring promise that silence will not be used against you.

Fifth Amendment: Confessions - Custody, Interrogation, and Other Questions after Miranda - Custody - Objective Test - Stansbury v. California (1994) - Holding
An officer's views concerning the nature of an interrogation or beliefs concerning the potential culpability of the individual being questioned may be one among many factors that bear upon the assessment whether that individual was in custody but only if the officer's views or beliefs were somehow manifested to the individual under interrogation and would have affected how a reasonable person in that position would perceive his or her freedom to leave If the suspect felt he was free to leave he was not in custody. If he did not feel free to leave then he was in custody.

Fifth Amendment: Confessions - Exceptions to the Miranda Rule -Impeaching the Witness with Miranda Defective Statement - Oregon v. Hass (1975)
Defendant received full Miranda warnings and invoked his right to an attorney. Before he could call an attorney he made inculpatory response. Miranda was defective not because of failure to give but failure to respect the invocation of rights. Despite the confession being Miranda defective, the statements were admissible to impeach the defendant who had taken the stand and offered direct testimony in conflict with the incriminating information
Fifth Amendment: Confessions - Custody, Interrogation, and Other Questions after Miranda - Test for Custody
Determining whether custody exists is a two-step process: The first step the freedom of movement test which requires the court to determine whether a reasonable person under the circumstances would feel that he was free to terminate the interrogation and leave. All the circumstances surrounding the interrogation must be considered. If an individuals freedom of movement was curtailed in this way, the next step considers whether the relevant environment presents the same inherently coercive pressures as the type of station house questioning at issue in Miranda.
Fifth Amendment: Introduction -Privilege Against Compelled Self-Incrimination: Introduction and Meaning of Compulsion - The Griffin Rule - Griffin v. California
Can the government must so much evidence against you that you feel pressured to testify? is the it the government's evidence or the fear of comment that forces you to testify? if the prosecutor or the judge comments on the defendant's failure to take the stand, that is compulsion and a violation of 5A.

Fifth Amendment: Confessions - Exceptions to the Miranda Rule - Impeaching a Defendant with Silence - Jenkens v. Anderson (1980) - pre-arrest silence
Jenkens at trial theory of defense was self-defense. Jenkens wants to use the Doyle room. Distinguishes Doyle because there was no Miranda right, so no 14A rights prior to. He was just on the land, no one broke their promise, it is not fundamentally unfair, government did not say you have the right to remain silent. Since no promise, cannot have broken promise. Doyle is inapplicable in this case because no government action induced the defendant to turn himself in. The failure to speak occurred before he was taken into custody and given Miranda The fundamental unfairness in Doyle is not present in this case because impeachment of pre-arrest silence does not violate the fourteenth amendment due process clause
Fifth Amendment: Confessions Waiver and Miranda - Waiver after the invocation of the right to silence - Michigan v. Mosley (1975) - government must satisfy the "knowing and voluntary" test laid out in Burbine

Fifth Amendment: Confessions - Exceptions to the Miranda Rule - Fruits of Miranda Violation: Subsequent Confession - Missouri v. Seibert (2004) - Kennedy Concurrence (Holding of Case)
Lower courts interpreting Seibert are going to use Kennedy's concurrence A second confession will not be admissible if the police acted in bad faith and if the two confessions are considered consecutive This case looks like bad faith because the police were told to do this and it is clearly a situation that would call for Miranda rights to be read-- clearly an interrogations, clearly an arrest it looks continuous because there were only 15 minutes in between the two conversations If the police obtain a confession from a detainee without giving him Miranda warning and then give the detainee Miranda warnings and obtain a subsequent confession, the subsequent confession will be inadmissible if the question first, warn later nature of the questioning was intentional (i.e., the facts make it seem like the police used this as a scheme to get around the Miranda requirements)

Ohio has a statute if you do not produce ID during stop that is criminal, that statute does not exceed a permissible stop, it does not make stop something else. Another thing the court said is that it does not violate your 5A privilege because even though there is compulsion, it would be very rare case that your identity is incriminating, your identity is not incriminating, there are many ways they can do it, your identity itself is not incriminating. Turning over your name is testimonial because if you lie you may be prosecuted for perjury. Your name itself is not incriminating so just turning over your name is not enough to invoke the 5th amendment Identity is essential in any criminal case

Patane arrested for harassing former girlfriend of his, released on bond and violated parole and restraining order, so he was arrested again. police had this information and think he is felon in firearm, so when they arrest him and give Miranda warnings, he interrupts and says "yea, yea, yea" I know my rights. They ask about gun, and he ultimately tells them. Now there is a question about the admissibility of gun. We know the statement not admissible, but question is what about gun no matter what Miranda is a bright line rule, does not matter if you invented it, you have to read it fully and get valid waiver in order to make admissible.

Fifth Amendment: Confessions - Custody, Interrogation, and Other Questions after Miranda - Custody - Objective Test - JDB v. North Carolina - Age Consideration
adds something to analysis which says one thing that can be relevant is the age of the person who is being interrogated age relevant for determining if someone thinks they are in custody. main issue is are we talking about reasonable person or reasonable 13 year old and court said it is relevant their age. Under those circumstances a 13 year old would feel they are in custody. all we are saying is age, if readily apparent, can be considered in determining whether someone else in custody. So long as the child's age was known to the officers at the time of police questioning or would have been objectively apparent to a reasonable officer, its inclusion in the custody analysis is consist with the objective nature of that test

Fifth Amendment: Confessions Waiver and Miranda - Oregon v. Bradshaw (1993) Initiation (what counts an initiation) - Opinion/Holding
analysis under Edwards - did he initiate, an initiation cannot be a general inquiry arising out of the custodial arrest. initiation is not - how did fingerprinting work an indication of a willingness to enter into a generalized discussion about the investigation amounts to initiation. if the suspect makes a necessary inquiry arising out of the custodial relationship, that will not be considered initiating communication with the officers. Ambiguity construe in favor of finding initiation (Rehnquist plurality - interpreted as binding law) Marshal dissent: initiation cannot be found unless the suspect expresses a willingness to discuss the specific subject matter of the investigation.

argues that did not know being accused of murder, thought another charge so said not knowingly waived because did not know what charge was, but the court rejects this and says Miranda warnings do not require reading the charges to suspect. It does not render unknowing because did not have that piece of information. A suspect's awareness of all the possible subjects of questioning in advance of interrogation is not relevant to determining whether the suspect voluntarily knowingly and intelligently waived his fifth amendment privilege

baby had been shaken to death and the father was arrested and prosecuted and the babysitter had been given immunity and she testified that she did not do it. father on appeal said the government was mistaken for giving immunity because she gave exculpatory statement and said she didn't do it and in what way is that incriminating court rejected father argument and said even an exculpatory statement can be incriminating and we are not going to look too far into it. babysitter faced risk of self-incrimination even though she denied wrongdoing, and therefore grant of immunity was not unlawful Privilege's protections extend only to witnesses who have reasonable cause to apprehend danger from a direct answer

basically, undoes the notion in Tague or Miranda itself that the confession itself is evidence of waiver.

The detainees failure to answer does not constitute an invocation of the right to remain silent

court creates a limited exception to Miranda for emergency situations. Court is very carefully to suggest that this has to be a real emergency. it has to be an immediate danger The police may question a suspect without first reading a suspect his Miranda warnings, and the suspects statements may be admitted at trial, where the exigency of a situation requires that public safety take precedence over a suspects Fifth Amendment privilege when there is an objectively reasonable need to protect the police or the public from an immediate danger, that is, where there exists an exigency requiring immediate action
Fifth Amendment: Confessions - Custody, Interrogation, and Other Questions after Miranda - Custody - Objective Test - Stansbury v. California (1994)- Supreme Court

Fifth Amendment: Introduction -Privilege Against Compelled Self-Incrimination: Introduction and Meaning of Compulsion - Pressure v. Compulsion - Ohio Adult Parol Auth. v. Woodard (1998) - Opinion/Holding
court says pressure is okay, there are plenty of pressures given to take stand but there is no 5A violation. "But it has never been suggested that such pressure constitute compulsion for Fifth Amendment purposes." focus on how much pressure being put on you and seeing if it is so much that crosses line into compulsion. Clemency proceeding did not compel him to incriminate himself because the interview is voluntary and he has the choice to provide information to the Authority at the risk of damaging his case for clemency or postconviction relief or remaining silent. The pressure to speak in hopes of bettering his chance for clemency does not make the interview compelled
Fifth Amendment: Confessions - Exceptions to the Miranda Rule - Physical Fruit of Miranda Defective Statement - United States v. Patane (2004) - no longer pre-Dickerson case where can say prophylactic and not constitutional law. - Opinion/Holding
court says the Gun is going to be admissible court says Miranda never pertains to physical evidence court says if Miranda statement leads to physical evidence then physical evidence is admissible exclusionary rule does not exclude physical evidence from Miranda defective statement. If the police fail to give Miranda warnings and during interrogation and a detainee gives the police info that leads to non-testimonial evidence, the evidence will be suppressed if the failure was purposeful, but if the failure was not purposeful, the evidence will not be suppressed. The fruit-of-the-poisonous tree doctrine is inapplicable unless physical evidence is found as a result of involuntary, coerced statements. Mirandas general presumption that unwarned statements are coerced serves only to protect a suspects privilege against self-incrimination with respect to testimonial evidence, and therefore does not extend to physical evidence found because of voluntary, unwarned statements. Because the introduction of physical evidence at trial does not implicate the Self-Incrimination Clause, suppression of physical evidence found because of a suspects voluntary but unwarned statements is not required.

Fifth Amendment: Confessions - Exceptions to the Miranda Rule - Fruits of Miranda Violation: Subsequent Confession - Oregon v. Elstad (1985)
facts: living room statement, he was arrest and not given Miranda warnings, so that was direct violation, but what happens next is he is given Miranda Warnings and he gives full confession. Argues would not have given full confession if did not give statement in living room which was Miranda defective. Court says the second statement is admissible because we get enough deterrent value for suppressing first statement, even though could see it as result of first statement. A suspect can make a statement that is admissible in court after being read his Miranda warnings, even when he previously made an unwarned statement, because the initial failure to read a suspect his Miranda warnings does not taint later voluntary statements

looks at purpose and language of 5A and says it is about testimony and compelling them to be witnesses against themselves and this is not testimony. 5A violation is not complete until a statement in introduced against you at trial. Miranda violation is not 5A violation according to Thomas and is not what Dickerson says. Essentially no constitutional violation until statement introduced at trial. Thomas thinks point of 5A is for reliable evidence and physical evidence is always reliable. (not true, 5A not about reliability)
Fifth Amendment: Introduction -Privilege Against Compelled Self-Incrimination: Introduction and Meaning of Compulsion - Compulsion - The Penalty-Benefit Distinction - United States v. Cruz
mandatory minimum requirement of 10 years for this crime, but get lower sentence if you admit to all crimes related to this particular one. so, you might think this is an incentive and the government is making me admit to these crimes in order to get lower sentence, that is really forcing. court says this is not compulsion it is a benefit being given to you for waiving 5A right. getting something better than the status quo. getting 5 instead of 10 is a benefit and not a penalty Court holding: the defendant's mandatory minimum is 5 years but the legislative scheme says if you waive the privilege your sentence will be reduced to two years The defendant is not being penalized. If he does not waive he will face the statutory 5-10 years No compulsion because all penalty cases involve some kind of loss or reduction from the status quo. A defendant facing a particular sentence with the option of obtaining a lower sentence if he or she waives the fifth amendment privilege is not presented with the same negative sanction as presented in the penalty cases. The choice confronting the defendant gives rise to no more compulsion than that present in a typical plea bargain
