Good post BigK...I might add that personally I would not wait for my 5th ammendment to be read to me. I would communicate and invoke it immediately. Point is once something is said it is record. If you know your going to spend the "night" may as well shut the pie hole and use the night to think over what needs to be said.
The below is FYI
How We Got Our Miranda Rights
On March 13, 1963, $8.00 in cash was stolen from a Phoenix, Arizona bank worker. Police suspected and arrested Ernesto Miranda for committing the theft.
During two-hours of questioning, Mr. Miranda, who was never offered a lawyer, confessed not only to the $8.00 theft, but also to kidnapping and raping an 18-year-old woman 11 days earlier.
Based largely on his confession, Miranda was convicted and sentenced to twenty years in jail.
