Today's rulings of note from the Supreme Court of California

ADVERTISEMENTS
Today's rulings of note from the Supreme Court of California: A minor's statement while in police custody that "I want my mommy!" will no longer suffice simply by itself to invoke the minor's Fifth Amendment right to remain silent as the result of a decision issued today. The statement may suffice to invoke the right to counsel, however, if the mommy also happens to be a lawyer.
