How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that the legal basis for the objection must be obvious to the court and to opposing counsel
  • noting that intermediate appellate court’s reliance on findings of fact to determine appellant’s argument in the trial court was misplaced because the findings were issued after the appeals process had begun
  • holding appellant’s objection was “too imprecise” to preserve error on complaint that his statement was admitted in violation of Fifth Amendment under Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436 (1966)
  • observing that “[t]he trial court’s response to appellant’s argument and its ruling on appellant’s motions to suppress indicate that it did not understand the nature of appellant’s two-step interrogation complaint”
  • stating that to preserve an objection, “a party need only let the trial court know what he wants and why he feels himself entitled to it clearly enough for the judge to understand him”
  • explaining that a “two-step” or “question first, warn later” interrogation occurs when a suspect is interrogated without receiving Miranda warnings, a confession is obtained, the suspect is given the Miranda warnings, and the suspect 8 repeats the confession
