Navigation Florida Supreme Court reverses 2018 ruling on Miranda rights reminder
The Florida Supreme Court on Thursday receded from its 2018 ruling in Shelly v. State that requires investigators to “remind or readvise” suspects of their rights when the suspects “reinitiate contact” with their interrogators.
Justice Jamie Grosshans, writing for the majority, concluded that a 1983 U.S. Supreme Court case, Bradshaw, provides the proper standard.
“That standard asks two things: (1) did the suspect reinitiate contact with police and, if so, (2) did he knowingly and voluntarily waive his earlier-invoked Miranda rights.”
