2. “It is well established that “the Miranda rule evolved solely as a procedural safeguard to protect the accused’s privilege against compulsory self incriminationBeyond a strictly procedural approach, however, it is clear that this State’s law governs since New York has a paramount interest in the application of its laws to this case.... Here, New York police officers obtained a statement for use in a New York proceeding emanating from a violent crime in New York. Application of the exclusionary rule would not serve any useful purpose since Texas authorities were not involved. Indeed, exclusion of the subject statement would serve to undermine the good faith efforts of the New York police in complying with the Miranda standards.”
