New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Rodney P. (Anonymous), Appellant
November 30, 196721 N.Y.2d 1
Summary
The Court held that Miranda warnings were not required for the brief, non‑custodial interrogation of a 16‑year‑old suspect at his home, and therefore affirmed the judgment admitting the oral admissions. A dissent argued the opposite, contending the suspect was effectively deprived of his freedom.
