Advertencia de Miranda

Antes de que le haga algunas preguntas, le quiero explicar sus derechos.

Usted tiene el derecho de permanecer en silencio.

Cualquier cosa que usted diga puede ser usada en contra suya en una corte legal.

Usted tiene el derecho de consultar con un abogado antes de contestar preguntas, y de tener a su abogado presente durante las preguntas.

Si no puede pagar a un abogado, uno le será proporcionado gratis para que le represente a usted antes de contestar preguntas.

¿Entiende usted sus derechos?

¿Está usted dispuesto a renunciar a estos derechos y hablar conmigo?

Miranda Warning

  1. Before we ask you any questions, you must understand your legal rights.

  2. You have the right to remain silent.

  3. Anything you say can be used against you in a court of law.

  4. You have the right to talk with a lawyer for advice, before we ask you any questions and to have him with you during questioning.

  5. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you before questioning, if you wish.

  6. If you decide to answer questions now without a lawyer present, you will still have the right to stop questioning at any time until you talk to a lawyer.

  7. Do you understand what I have read to you?

  8. Having those rights in mind, do you wish to talk to me now?
