  2. That the police officer arrested the first juvenile for trespassing on the property where he was standing.

28. The following facts were established during a hearing in a criminal case:

- The police arrested John for suspicion of robbery.
- He was arrested on Fifth Street as he was walking past the Shop-N-Save Mart.
- The victim identified John from a book of mug shots collected by the police.
- Immediately upon arrest John was advised of his Miranda rights-the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney.
- At the police station, John was placed in an interrogation room.
- A police officer interviewed John.
- John confirmed certain information, including his name, home address, work address, and a fifteen-year-old conviction for theft.
- All interrogation was stopped on John’s request.
- The police started interrogating John again one hour later without John’s attorney.
- John then confessed to the robbery.

If John later claimed the confession violated his Miranda rights, what other fact or facts must John prove?
  1. That John did not commit the robbery.
  2. That John’s confession was coerced during the interrogation process.
  3. That, before the interrogation was stopped, John invoked his right to remain silent.
  4. That, before the interrogation was stopped, John requested the assistance of counsel.

29. Penny is a paralegal working for Leonard, who is an attorney licensed in the state of Hysteria. Leonard has filed suit on behalf of Vicki, who was seriously injured when a car driven by Denise collided with Vicki’s car. After the suit was filed, Leonard instructed Penny to have the complaint and summons served on Denise. Penny prepared the complaint and summons for service and made arrangements with a process server for service on Denise. The process server went to the address listed on Denise’s driver’s license, which had been recorded by the police at the time of the accident. A teenage girl answered the door, but she confirmed that both she and Denise resided at that address. Denise never filed an answer to the complaint and later claimed that service of process was improper. Under the laws of Hysteria, one of the proper methods of service of process is to leave the complaint and summons at the defendant’s last and usual abode, with a person residing there who is of suitable age (at least age 12) and discretion. If Penny needs to confirm that service of process was proper, what other information does she need?
  1. Whether the teenage girl resided at the address on Denise’s driver’s license.
  2. Whether the teenage girl was of suitable discretion.
  3. Whether the teenage girl was at least 12 years old.
  4. Nothing, because service of the complaint and summons was proper.
  5. All of the above
