Yarborough v. Alvarado — Breyer, J., dissenting

Summary

Justice Breyer, dissenting, concluded that Michael Alvarado was in custody during interrogation without Miranda warnings, arguing that a reasonable person in his position would not have felt free to leave. He criticized the majority for ignoring specific circumstances, including Alvarado's youth and parental involvement. Justice O'Connor concurred in the judgment, suggesting age may be relevant but finding the state court's decision not unreasonable.
