Supreme Court of Florida

Eugene W. McWatters, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee — Quince, J., Concurring

March 18, 201035 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 169

Summary

Chief Justice Quince concurs with the court's resolution but cautions that the interrogation tactics used by the Martin County Sheriff’s Office—transporting McWatters to a room with incriminating evidence and misleading him before interrogation—approach the constitutional limits of Miranda warnings. He notes that while the waiver was technically valid, the tactics risk undermining the purpose of Miranda. The opinion does not alter the judgment of the court.
