TC v. State

Summary

The court reversed and remanded T.C.'s delinquency adjudication because his confession was obtained without a knowing and intelligent waiver of his Miranda rights. The officer incorrectly explained waiver as acting voluntarily rather than relinquishing the rights to silence and counsel, and T.C.'s expressed confusion showed that he lacked awareness of the rights he was abandoning. The court also held that T.C.'s sufficiency challenge was unpreserved, rejected his Brady claim, and found no error in the disposition order.
