Law enforcement must advise a suspect of his rights (Miranda Warnings) when a suspect is in custody. The Florida Supreme Court stated four criteria to help the court determine when a suspect is in custody for Miranda purposes: 1) The way police summoned the suspect for questioning; 2) the purpose, place, and manner of the interrogation, 3) the extent to which the suspect is confronted with the evidence of his or her guilt; and 4) whether the suspect is informed that he or she is free to leave the place of questioning. Ramirez v. State, 739 So. 2d 568 (Fla. 1999).
