Why is the court not aloowed to use the w information sokene uses in the interogation room as evidence in court
In the U.S., the court may exclude evidence obtained during an interrogation if certain conditions aren’t met, primarily due to protections under the Fifth and Sixth Amendments. Here are key reasons:
- Miranda Rights: If the suspect isn’t informed of their rights (right to remain silent, right to an attorney), the statements may be inadmissible.
- Coercion: Any evidence obtained through coercion or force is inadmissible.
- Right to Counsel: If the suspect’s request for an attorney is denied, any subsequent statements might be excluded.
