Burglary of Habitation. The interview room was well lit and had two windows with a view to the
prison administration offices. The door to the interview room was unlocked. Was the Miranda

Possession of a controlled substance. which u can serve up to atleast one year. but if the defendant didnt know he had the choice to get an attorney that could mean legal problems for the officers also. the defendant could of felt presured to answer this owulld be where u hav the right to remain slient comes in
