May 18, 2011Summary
The CA Supreme Court agreed to review People v. Manzo, a case from the Fourth District Court of Appeal involving the right to remain silent. The police apprehended defendant as a possible murder suspect. After the officers read defendant his Miranda rights during an interview, the officers asked if he understood his rights, including the right to remain silent. He responded with “I’m doing my right,” before responding that he understood the warnings. The trial court denied his motion to exclude the statements, finding he had not indicated a clear and unambiguous assertion of his rights. This court will decide whether defendant successfully invoked his right to remain silent.

For the purposes of briefing and oral argument, the People are deemed the petitioner in this court. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.520(a)(6).)
