Martinez v. State

The officers' failure to Mirandize the defendant before his initial interrogation and polygraph examination rendered later Miranda warnings ineffective and made his second statement inadmissible. The officers should have applied curative measures at the beginning of the second interview, or at the very least, when they referred to the defendant's first interrogation. Some curative measure would have allowed the defendant to recognize that the questioning had taken a different path. Martinez v. State -PD-1917-06.
