Micci v. Aleman

(1) Whether the Seventh Circuit correctly held, on a question that has fractured the circuits, that police may be civilly liable for the use of a suspect"s custodial statement, obtained either in violation of Miranda v. Arizona or as a result of coercion, where the statement was introduced to charge the suspect but the charges were dismissed prior to trial; and (2) whether the Seventh Circuit correctly held " seemingly for the first time by any federal appellate court " that a police officer unconstitutionally coerced a suspect"s statements by using the routine interview technique of lying to the suspect about the strength of the case against him.
