Abstract:
In North Carolina v. Butler, the United States Supreme Court invalidated the North Carolina rule that a defendant must expressly waive his Miranda rights before his statements are admissible in court. A waiver may sometimes be found, depending on the facts of the case, even when the defendant does not explicitly state that a lawyer is not wanted.
