I don't believe that federal law enforcement is going into a questioning deciding not to mirandize somebody. They do it, almost automaticaaly, then let the defense explain why waiver was not freely and voluntarily given. To completely refrain from doing it is a bold (but foolish) move. However the arrest is totally kosher so long as it is supported by probable cause.

Honestly I imagine most of them are caught up in their passions and would not, after calm reflection, do more than smack the guy in the back of the head. I imagine there are some who do not care about law or rights as long as their tribe is on top, of course, but I think they are fewer than you think.

X-post from the D&D thread regarding Tsarnaev being read his Miranda rights and questioning:

I was reading an FBI article on the "Public Safety Clause", and police will only ask him "those questions necessary for the police "to secure their own safety or the safety of the public". More than likely, they will ask him if he and his brother left additional bombs that haven't been discovered, or if others were involved/additional attacks were planned.

A benefit for investigators would be that anything he admits during the course of this questioning is still admissible in court.

quote:

In U.S. v. Khalil, New York City police officers raided an apartment in Brooklyn after they received information that Khalil and Abu Mezer had bombs in their apartment and were planning to detonate them.36 During the raid, both men were shot and wounded as one of them grabbed the gun of a police officer and the other crawled toward a black bag believed to contain a bomb. When the officers looked inside the black bag, they saw pipe bombs and observed that a switch on one bomb was flipped.

Officers went to the hospital to question Abu Mezer about the bombs. They asked Abu Mezer "how many bombs there were, how many switches were on each bomb, which wires should be cut to disarm the bombs, and whether there were any timers."37 Abu Mezer answered each question and also was asked whether he planned to kill himself in the explosion. He responded by saying, "Poof."38

Abu Mezer sought to suppress each of his statements, but the trial court permitted them, ruling that they fell within the public safety exception.

After questioning related to topics like those mentioned, I would assume he will be Mirandized.

People are rarely mirandized the second they are arrested. It usually happens at the station before they are questioned. The handcuffs and miranda reading is mostly a movie thing. Because this is a dude who likes making half a dozen bombs and placing them in fun places, they used an exception to ask him about threats to the public and only those specific threats, not general questions. He also can choose not to speak and lawyer up at any time. Miranda is simply a warning, not an application of rights.

So just before white hat was taken into custody, there was a bunch of stuff on the scanner about reporters getting way to close to where the boat was and the police trying to get them away.

Two idiot CNN reporters just basically admitted it was them. Saying how they were sneaking, trying to get close to the scene and taking video of the boat... you know, the scene where the police didn't want media cause dozens of shots were just fired and there were possibly explosives around.

e-CNN just reported he's in serious condition, as opposed to critical.

Ironically enough, society is so fragmented, and possesses so many diverse opinions and ways of life, that it's almost safer to have everyone disagree, but in a civil fashion. The only instances where everyone bands together in an emotionally and ideologically homogeneous mass are typically in environments founded by hatred, fear, or shared suffering. Not the sort of environment you want a society to be stuck in perpetually just for the sake of verbal concord.

There's no set definition of terrorism and based on the last 10 years of American history it's a word that means everything and nothing. This was a bad thing that happened but labeling it terrorism or not is just semantics.

Everything about the outcome is great. The victims will get the best justice possible under the circumstances. The police, FBI, everyone did a fantastic job and showed what good police work is. I'm really proud of the Massachusetts people in general, they handled it as well as possible and deserve to have a great weekend after dealing with so much pain and dread. Let them celebrate finally getting a break and some positive news.

Definitely. Everything I've heard about the guy would suggest that he was totally normal and mentally stable. He was popular at university, had lots of friends, even his twitter seems like any 19 year old freshman. He did live with his brother though, and while maybe not a sociopath, he may have been slowly radicalized by him. The whole situation is just so hosed up and tragic. I can't wait for him to talk about it. Everything up to the kid saying it himself is just going to be speculation, of course.

I guaranfuckingtee you that is going to be his defense. We may hear of his brother's ideologies, but "I was influenced by my brother" is pretty much his only viable defense at this point.
