State v. Amandeep K. Tiwana

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that Detective Espaillat’s brief self‑introduction to defendant Amandeep K. Tiwana at her hospital bedside did not constitute a custodial interrogation or its functional equivalent, so Miranda warnings were not required and the defendant’s spontaneous admission was admissible. The Court reversed the Appellate Division and remanded for further proceedings.
