Jimmy Swaggert was a suspect in the murder of his girlfriend, and his rival’s ex-spouse, Tammy Faye. The police found Tammy Faye in the basement of Swaggert’s home. Her death was apparently the result of blows to the head from a blunt object. Swaggert initially told police that he knew nothing of what happened, that Tammy Faye must have been murdered by an intruder while he slept upstairs, and that he did not want to cooperate further. A few days after the murder, Swaggert called Detective Angley to get an update on the investigation. Angley invited Swaggert to come to the police station to talk things over. Swaggert went to the police station where he met with Angley in a small room with only a table and some chairs. Angley told Swaggert that he was not under arrest and gave him Miranda warnings. Swaggert then signed a Miranda waiver form and agreed to take a polygraph exam. After the polygraph was administered Angley asked some preliminary questions and then advised Swaggert that he failed the polygraph. This was an exaggeration since the test revealed only that it was unclear whether Swaggert was telling the truth. At that point Swaggert said that he would like to get an attorney. Angley said “you may or may not need a lawyer, I don’t know. You should just tell the truth because it will set you free.” Swaggert then admitted that he sometimes fought with Tammy Faye but that he did not kill her. Swaggert then stood up and left the police station. Over the next few weeks the police developed further evidence linking Swaggert to the murder of Tammy Faye and Swaggert was arrested. At Swaggert’s trial he moved to suppress his statements. Swaggert’s statement is:

Magnolia Paydirt was sitting on a park bench in a local park playing her guitar. Sitting next to her was her open guitar case with several small, crumpled dollar bills and some coins. Officer Lynn approached Paydirt and advised her that she could not play her guitar for money in the park pursuant to a city ordinance. The ordinance specifically allowed playing of music so long as no money was collected by the musician. Paydirt advised Lynn that she had a First Amendment right to teach the world to sing and that Lynn should take her ordinance and shove it. Lynn then arrested Paydirt for violating the city ordinance. The ordinance made the violation a fine only offense and did not authorize an arrest. The arrest of Paydirt was:
