US Supreme Court OKs Florida Miranda warnings
The high court Tuesday voted 7-2 to restore Kevin Powell's weapons possession conviction, which had been thrown out because of the warning.
Officers told Powell: "You have the right to talk to a lawyer before answering any of our questions. If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed for you without cost and before any questioning. You have the right to use any of these rights at any time you want during this interview."
The court majority said that makes it clear Powell could have a lawyer with him during questioning.
