Stone v. Powell bar inapplicable to Miranda claims on federal habeas

Doctrine › Miranda

Leading case

Withrow v. Williams, 507 U.S. 680 (1993)

How courts have described it

holding that Stone does not apply to a state prisoner’s claim that his conviction rests on statements obtained in violation of the safeguards set out in Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U. S. 436 (1966)

Reed v. Farley, 512 U.S. 339 (1994)

refusing to extend Stone to Miranda claims raised on habeas; stating that “ ‘[prophylactic’ though it may be, in protecting a defendant’s Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination, Miranda safeguards a fundamental trial right”

Jerry Lee Staley v. Kurt Jones, 239 F.3d 769 (6th Cir. 2001)

contrasting Mapp and Miranda rules, and allowing habeas attack in the latter instance because the reliability of the conviction is implicated by a Miranda violation but not a Mapp violation

United States v. Clawson, 842 F. Supp. 428 (D. Or. 1994)

distinguishing Miranda violation from Fourth Amendment violation for purposes of habeas corpus review based on its different purposes

People v. Trujillo, 49 P.3d 316 (Colo. 2002)

commenting that “[prophylactic though it may be, in protecting a defendant’s ... privilege against self-incrimination, Miranda safeguards a ‘fundamental trial right’”

State v. Walton, 41 S.W.3d 75 (Tenn. 2001)

commenting that "[p]rophylactic though it may be, in protecting a defendant's . . . privilege against self-incrimination, Miranda safeguards a `fundamental trial right'"

State v. Walton, 41 S.W.3d 75 (Tenn. 2001)
