PEOPLE v. RIDLEY

Docket No. 56843, (Calendar No. 12).

396 Mich. 603 (1976)

242 N.W.2d 402

PEOPLE v. RIDLEY

Supreme Court of Michigan.

Decided June 3, 1976.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Frank J. Kelley, Attorney General, Robert A. Derengoski, Solicitor General, William L. Cahalan, Prosecuting Attorney, Patricia J. Boyle, Principal Attorney, Research Training & Appeals, and Robert M. Morgan, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for the people.

Keller & Svenson for defendant.


COLEMAN, J.

The one issue considered on appeal is whether defendant's response to on-the-scene questioning by a police officer was admissible in evidence. Under the circumstances of this case, we find that the police were engaged in preliminary exploration regarding a crime in progress, so were not obliged to give Miranda warnings to defendant.

The case, therefore, is distinguishable from People v Reed, 393 Mich. 342
