California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Resendez, B265315 (Cal. App. 2016):
Defendant now contends the trial court violated his Fifth Amendment rights by admitting the statement he made while in the hospital. He argues that the statement was not voluntary and therefore should have been excluded from his trial. Defendant further argues that the statement was obtained in violation of Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 436 (Miranda), and that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to raise the Miranda issue.
We find no error and affirm the judgment of the trial court.
