This issue is actually one of the bases for her up-coming appeal, that she was not read her Miranda rights when she was placed in handcuffs, placed in the back of the police car by I think the first officer on the scene, and then when Yuri or another officer came by and they got the kidnapping story, they got her out and removed them. My impression is this was early on the night of the 16th, before she even wrote her statement out? Then she was taken to Universal hours later, but I think her DT is saying that since she was "arrested" in the handcuffs, she should have been Mirandized, and ANYTHING she stated or wrote after that should not have been allowed into court as evidence due to that fact, including the whole Universal interview.
There was a hearing as another poster stated, I remember all of the officers on the stand explaining what happened when they first arrived, CA said the car was stolen, then I think she told the officers also about a stolen credit card or something, wasn't she getting them the credit card receipts? and then "Oh, by the way, maybe we should mention our granddaughter is also missing". :banghead:
There was a hearing and JP said everything was procedurally correct, all of her statements that night/next day, etc., were admitted into evidence, so I am wondering how that hearing and JP's ruling will affect the appeal? I guess we'll see soon.
IMO, MOO, etc.
