In the 1966 decision of Miranda v. Arizona, the United States Supreme Court held that before being interrogated by police in a custodial setting, a suspect must be given notice of certain rights. United States v. Carter (Sioux Falls, South Dakota) is examined to consider when investigative questioning ends and custodial interrogation begins. In this case, bank employee Carter was called to the office of the bank president where, on request, he produced his wallet that contained bank cash and a bank bearer check that had been placed in the mail tray. During the hour and a half interview, agents obtained incriminating statements from Carter, warned him of his rights, and obtained a handwritten statement of guilt from him. The trial judge suppressed his statements and ruled that the bait money was improperly obtained in a custodial setting before Carter had received his Miranda rights.
