Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 394 F.2d 3 (9th Cir. 1968) April 16, 1968

Milton W. B. Choy (argued), Honolulu, Hawaii, for appellant.

Michael D. Hong (argued), Asst. U. S. Atty., Yoshimi Hayashi, U. S. Atty., James F. Ventura, Asst. U. S. Atty., Honolulu, Hawaii, for appellee.

Before CHAMBERS, BARNES and HAMLIN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


The defendant's in-custody confession was inadmissible for lack of a Miranda-type warning, inasmuch as his trial was commenced post-Miranda. Miranda v. State of Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 86 S. Ct. 1602, 16 L. Ed. 2d 694 (1966).

The judgment of conviction is reversed and the case remanded for a new trial. Johnson v. State of New Jersey, 384 U.S. 719, 721, 86 S. Ct. 1772, 16 L. Ed. 2d 882 (1966). Cf. Groshart v. United States, 392 F.2d 172, (9th Cir. 1968).
