Miranda and Terror Suspects

The Federalist Society’s International Law and National Security Law Practice Group has posted Miranda & Terror Suspects: Podcast. Here are the details:

To what extent are law enforcement personnel required to read the standard Miranda warning to terror suspects?  Does the reading of such a warning so compromise the government’s ability to investigate acts of terror, both prospectively and retrospectively, that a public safety exception exists?  Or does such a public safety exception for terror suspects effectively erode a vital protection for all criminal suspects?

Featuring:

* Hon. Paul G. Cassell, Ronald N. Boyce Presidential Professor of Criminal Law, The University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law

* Prof. Amos N. Guiora, Professor of Law, The University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law

* Moderator: Mr. Richard D. Klingler, Partner, Sidley Austin LLP
