With this evidence, we can prove, without a doubt, that the defendant is...
Did you even tell him that he had the right to counsel in the first place? Or that he had the right against self-incrimination?

Furthermore, all police officers are required to inform those in custody of their 5th amendment rights, henceforth known as Miranda Rights, upon being taken into custody
