1. “"`The Miranda decision requires no talismanic formulation of the warnings to be given to a criminal defendant as to the constitutional rights protected by that decision.' Jones v. State, 456 So.2d 366, 373 (Ala.Cr.App.1983) (citing California v. Prysock, 453 U.S. 355 , 101 S.Ct. 2806 , 69 L.Ed.2d 696 (1981), affirmed, 456 So.2d 380 (Ala.1984), cert. denied, 470 U.S. 1062 , 105 S.Ct. 1779 , 84 L.Ed.2d 838 (1985)). Where `warnings were given but one version was defective or incomplete ... [or] deficient in some respect, it suffices that the other set of warnings was complete and correct. This may be a sensible result when the difference between the two sets of warnings is merely that something was omitted from one of them.' 1W. LaFave & J. Israel Criminal Procedure § 6.8(c)(1984)."”
