Scenario Part 1
On March 12, 2014, at approximately 2200 hours, the Sunnyville, Utah Police Department received a 911 call of an armed robbery at 201 SE 2nd Ave. Upon the police arriving on scene, Victim 1, Luke Roberts, had been shot in the head and deceased. Victim 2, Liam O'Neil, was pistol-whipped. Both victims were robbed of their cell phones and wallets at gunpoint. Liam O'Neil was able to identify both suspects and the getaway vehicle. A short distance away, police stopped the suspect vehicle with two Caucasian males that matched the description provided by Mr. O'Neil. After the two suspects were positively identified, they were arrested and brought to the police station for interviews.
Before the police interviewed the suspects, they read them their Miranda rights. Suspect 1 refused to speak to the police, invoked his Miranda rights, and stated that he wanted a lawyer. The police began asking Suspect 2 specific questions about the crime. Suspect 2 stated “I’m not sure I should talk to you,” but then hesitantly proceeded to answers questions, making several incriminating statements.

2009). Moreover, during investigations, a suspect deserves to be informed of his or her Miranda
rights. The primary purpose of the Miranda rights to protect citizens from giving selfincriminating information that can be used to lay the blame on them a law court. Therefore, as
the officers of law try to preserve peace and safety for all individuals they are also expected to
protect people deemed to be criminals...
