United States v. Guadalupe Javier Heredia-Fernandez

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “[L]anguage difficulties may impair the ability of a person in custody to waive [Miranda] rights in a free and aware manner.”
• written Miranda warnings in Spanish provided to Spanish-speaking defendant who acknowledged understanding of them and defendant had been previously arrested fifteen times so he might fairly have been presumed to be familiar with Miranda warnings.
• waiver valid where defendant received and signed waiver written in Spanish, repeatedly confirmed he understood his rights, and had been arrested 15 times in the past 8-10 years, thereby giving rise to the fair presumption that he was familiar with Miranda rights procedures
