About this listen

In this episode we re-argue the Supreme Court case North Carolina v. Butler.

A man is arrested by the FBI, who gave him both a verbal and written notification of his rights. WB refused to sign a form indicating that he wished to waive his rights. Statements to the agents were included in evidence against him at trial. He was convicted, the North Carolina Supreme Court overturned the conviction, and the State cried foul.

The question before the court: can a suspect’s statements be used against him if he did not explicitly say he was waiving his Miranda rights?
