In a decision handed down this morning, the US Supreme Court has held that a California state court acted reasonably when it failed to consider a defendant's age and inexperience when determining whether the defendant was "in custody" for Miranda purposes. The case is Yarborough v. Alvarado (case backgrounder from Duke Law School's Program in Public Law). Cornell's Legal Information Institute has posted today's opinion per Justice Kennedy, along with Justice O'Connor's concurrence and Justice Breyer's dissent.

The Supreme Court did not grant any petitions for certiorari Tuesday. The Court's full Order List is available here (via Cornell's Legal Information Institute).
