Judge Throws Out Rape Confession Over Interrogation Methods

A judge in Montgomery County threw out the confession of an accused rapist, the Washington Post reported.

According to the paper, Circuit Court Judge Eric M. Johnson decided that Montgomery County police had not read the accused his rights before beginning an interrogation that led to the confession.

In the case, a Montgomery County man admitted to police that he had fondled and sexually abused his daughter over a three year period starting when she was age 11. Following the judge's decision, the suspect was released from jail under the condition that he stay away from his daughter.

    All he has to do is "stay away from the child"?? THATS some heavy handed punishment! Now, FIRE the police who (by now) should know about the Miranda warning. THEY are the ones responsible, NOT the judge, who is doing HIS job. Who is questioning suspects over there? Forest Gump?
