Yesterday's Columbus Dispatch has a story on Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine's joining counterparts from 35 other states in appealing a 2010 Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals "Miranda rights" decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. DeWine's brief, filed in support of Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette, said that the 6th Circuit's "framework has no foundation in precedent," "creates artificial and unworkable distinctions in Miranda jurisprudence, and it affords greater rights to prisoners than to other citizens."
