This my first time starting a thread. If I did anything wrong, or if it doesn't fit or whatever, do what you will!
Did anyone hear Geraldo Rivera's assertion this morning on F&F that he believes that the police were treating ICA as a suspect when they were interrogating her and the fact that they didn't Mirandize her beforehand, will allow a conviction to be overturned?
What do you all think?

That's a TV induced myth about Miranda. You do not have to mirandize someone who isn't in custody. After all, they can walk away without talking to you. Casey wasn't in custody during the Universal Studios interview. They made it clear they only asked her into the UNLOCKED room for privacy and that she was free to go if she wanted. They are even futher protected in that she wasn't arrested right after the interview.
Obviously her lies were making them suspicious, but they were giving every consideration to a possibility of there being another explanation. The cops didn't even immediately arrest her for the false statements. They gave her numerous chances to correct the false information. Something you will rarely ever hear me say, except in this case, is that the cops did a remarkable and fair job trying to find the missing child under extreme circumstances.
