Judge Hears Arguments On Addison's Miranda Rights

By Ellen Grimm on Thursday, July 3, 2008.

Miranda Rights.
We all know them from watching countless police movies and television shows.
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. Etc.
Miranda Rights protect criminal suspects from possible police abuse.
And if police do not respect those rights, the criminal case can be compromised.
Lawyers for Michael Addison say police made just those kinds of mistakes on October 16, 2006.
That was the day police arrested and interrogated Addison in Boston on charges he shot Manchester Police Officer Michael Briggs.
A judge heard those arguments this week.
NHPR Correspondent Ellen Grimm reports.

New Hampshire Public Radio’s David Darman has more.
