Revised Miranda – Most instances of reading the “revised Miranda” included the right to remain silent, especially in later books. In Naked in Death and Glory in Death, the first two books, a slightly different variation was used. From Glory: “... your rights are as follows. You are under no obligation to make a statement. If you do make a statement, it will be logged into record and can and will be used against you in court or any legal proceeding. You have a right to the presence and advice of an attorney or representative.” (Incomplete recitation) Procedure then required that the officer ask the suspect if he or she understands their rights and if they wish to call their attorney.[1] In Ceremony in Death, it was also referred to as the “traditional caution”[2], and in Witness in Death it was referred to as the “standard warning.”[3]

    • ”You are under no obligation to make a statement... You are entitled to an attorney or representative... Do you understand these rights?...” (Incomplete recitation)[4]
    • ”You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to an attorney and/or the representative of your choice. You have–“ (Incomplete recitation)[5]
