Rhode Island v. Innis

Innis (defendant) was arrested for kidnapping, robbery, and murder, was read and understood his Miranda rights, and asked for a lawyer. While three officers drove him to the station, two of them talked between themselves about worrying that a child from a nearby school for the handicapped might find Innis's hidden gun and get hurt. Innis then told them to turn around so he could show them the gun's location, was re-read his rights, and led them to it. The trial judge found no Miranda violation and admitted the gun and Innis's statements; the state supreme court disagreed, and the U.S. Supreme Court granted certiorari.
