State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Michael A. O’neill, Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court held that the detectives' "question‑first, warn‑later" two‑stage interrogation violated the state privilege against self‑incrimination, rendering the post‑warning statements inadmissible; consequently the felony‑murder convictions were reversed and the case remanded for a new trial.
