Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's reversal, holding that the pre‑arraignment interview preamble used by the Queens District Attorney rendered the subsequent Miranda warnings ineffective, requiring suppression of the defendants' statements. The Court affirmed the convictions were reversed and new trials ordered, and noted a dissent arguing the preamble did not violate Miranda.
