United States Ninth Circuit


Thompson v. Runnels, 08-16186

In a first-degree murder prosecution, a denial of petitioner's habeas petition is reversed where the admission at trial of petitioner's confession violated the privilege against self-incrimination, because the investigating officers deliberately withheld Miranda warnings until after he had confessed to the crime.
