Description

This title contains information for prosecutors, defense counsel and police detectives surrounding confessions in Maryland. Since Miranda, the Court of Appeals of Maryland and the Court of Special Appeals have heard many cases dealing with what constitutes appropriate police conduct when interrogating suspects. In these decisions, the Maryland courts have created standards regarding voluntariness, the right to silence, and the right to counsel that go beyond what may be demanded by the U.S. Supreme Court and by other jurisdictions. You will find a thorough review of all such standards in this work.
