““. . . The crucial test is whether the words in the context used, considering the age, background, and intelligence of the individual being interrogated, impart a clear, understandable warning of all of his rights.” Coyote v. United States (1967 C.A. 10th Cir.) 380 F.2d 305, 308 .”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““[A]n interrogation, initiated by the police and conducted in the compelling atmosphere of the interrogation room at the police station, at a time the investigation had focused on the accused, constitutes circumstances which would indicate a significant deprivation of freedom so as to require the interrogating officers to advise the suspect of his constitutional rights.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Minneman v. State · Luna v. State“[appellant should not have been instructed to sign the form if he understood it, but rather should have been informed that he would be signing a waiver of his rights and that he should sign it only if he desired to answer questions at that time without the presence or advice of an attorney.”
