These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In determining the admissibility of a juvenile’s statement the “totality of circumstances” under which it was made must be examined. Gallegos v. Colorado, 1962, 370 U.S. 49 , 82 S.Ct. 1209 , 8 L.Ed.2d 325 , 87 A.L.R.2d 614 ; Am.Jur.2d, Evidence, § 574. A history of the problem of juvenile confessions is set out in People v. Lara, 1967, 67 Cal.2d 365 , 62 Cal.Rptr. 586 , 432 P.2d 202 , cert. den., 1968, 392 U.S. 945 , 88 S.Ct. 2303 , 20 L.Ed.2d 1407 .. .. [A] minor has the capacity to make a voluntary confession, even of capital offenses, without the presence or consent of counsel or other responsible adult, and the admissibility of such a confession depends not on his age alone but on a combination of that factor with such other circumstances as his intelligence, education, experience, and ability to. comprehend the meaning and effect of his statement .... To these considerations must be added the requirement that, if the statement stems from custodial interrogation, the accused must be given his rights under Miranda and must voluntarily, knowingly and intelligently waive those rights. Miranda v. Arizona, 1966, 384 U.S. 436 , 86 S.Ct. 1602 , 16 L.Ed.2d 694 . A juvenile may waive his rights under Miranda but the state bears a heavy burden in establishing that the waiver was intelligently made. Arnold v. State, Fla.App.3rd, 1972, 265 So.2d 64 , cert. den., Fla.1973, 272 So.2d 817 .”
