Abstract

Examines the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Rhode Island v. Innis. The Court held in that case that not all questions asked by police of persons in custody constitute interrogations, but rather those statements that are “reasonably likely to elicit an incriminating response from the suspect.” The author believes this decision confuses the definition of interrogations which will require clarification from the courts.
