Case below, 998 So.2d 531 (Fla. 2008).
The Tampa, Fla., police department’s imprecise Miranda-type warning that advises “You have the right to talk to a lawyer before answering any of our questions” but does not explicitly advise of the right to have a lawyer present during questioning comport with Miranda v. Arizona? Brief argues that any form warning that systematically omits mention of a core Fifth Amendment right does not pass constitutional muster.
