Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Police in
Interrogation Case
By Gina Holland Associated Press Writer 

[...] Martinez was shot five times by police and then
subjected to a lengthy interrogation as he awaited
medical treatment. He was never told of his rights,
and he says a police sergeant kept questioning him
even after he said he did not want to answer. 

Martinez, who was never charged with a crime, was left
blind and paralyzed. 

Justice John Paul Stevens compared the interrogation
to "an attempt to obtain an involuntary confession
from a prisoner by torturous methods." [....]


You can hear Martinez scream while the police press
him to answer, on the taped interrogation that was
broadcast yesterday morning on Morning Edition:

High Court OKs Family Leave Act, Coercive
Interrogations
The Supreme Court upholds a federal law that allows
state workers to sue for financial damages when they
are denied unpaid leave to care for sick family
members. In another ruling, the court rules a police
officer did not violate the rights of a wounded
suspect who was not read his Miranda rights and was
questioned while being treated for life-threatening
wounds. Hear NPR's Nina Totenberg. May 28, 2003
