Except that there is no legal requirement to read anyone their miranda rights ever, unless you want to admit what they say to a court of law. The "legal" coverage of this case has been abysmal. The media's coverage has enlightened the public neither on their rights or on the legal proceedings of the case. I understand that people might think that aspirationally we should read everyone their miranda rights, but laws and precedent do not actually mandate it.

There is no reason to believe that the public safety exception has anything to do with the case at this point. The public safety exception is about admission of evidence, we are not at the discovery point in the trial at this point and consequntly have no idea if it will be invoked to admit evidence garnered from interrogating the suspect.

If journalist and bloggers who write about legal issues merely read the wiki entry on Miranda they would say a lot less stupid stuff.

The excellent Pope Hat blog is a good place to start, if anyone is curious what thier rights are. They have also been doing a good job of explaining other relavant and little understood aspects of the trial.

It's almost like there is a conspiracy in the media to ill inform us all about miranda, but I always say "What it looks like conspiracy is usually just incompetence."
