Thirteen years ago, in Missouri v. Seibert, 542 U.S. 600 (2004), this Court considered the admissibility of a statement where an officer “questions first”— i.e., he or she elicits an admission without providing a Miranda warning, then provides the warning and elicits the same admission. 4th 63, 68, 72 P.3d 280, 282 See, e.g., Inbau, Reid, & Buckley 241 (Elstad’s “facts as well as [its] specific holding” instruct that “where an interrogator has failed to administer the Miranda warnings in the mistaken belief that, under the circumstances of the particular case, the warnings were not required, … corrective measures … salvage an interrogation opportunity”).
