Supreme Court Considering Miranda Rights

{Frankfort, Kentucky}…The Kentucky Supreme Court is considering a case heard in October involving Miranda rights to students being questioned. The case stems from a 2009 incident at Nelson County High School in which a student was questioned behind closed doors, and admitted to a school official and school resource officer to giving away two prescription pain pills. The student was sentenced in juvenile court to 45 days in adult jail, but has appealed, saying his statement should be suppressed because he wasn’t read his Miranda rights. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that Miranda warnings are required for police interrogations for people who are in custody.
