New York Court of Appeals

In the Matter of Kwok T., a Person Alleged to be a Juvenile Delinquent, Neil Mauriello

November 22, 197743 N.Y.2d 213

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the street interrogation of the juvenile respondent was not custodial and therefore did not require Miranda warnings, and that the warrantless search of his apartment was not justified by exigent circumstances, so the seized weapons must be suppressed.
