Second Circuit rules suspects need not be informed of right to silence at start
The Second Circuit held that suspects do not have a constitutional right to be told of their right to remain silent during initial police questioning. The ruling, binding on courts in New York, Connecticut and Vermont, allows uncoerced confessions obtained early to be used at trial, while delaying the point at which counsel and silence must be explained. Chief Judge Lumbard cited preserving police questioning and fair, voluntary statements as essential to effective law enforcement.
