State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. A.g.d.

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that police may interrogate a suspect without counsel after a criminal complaint or arrest warrant has been filed but before indictment, and that a suspect's waiver of the right against self‑incrimination is invalid when the police fail to inform him of the filing of such a complaint or warrant. Accordingly, the defendant's statements were suppressed and his conviction reversed.
