On appeal, she argued the trial court erred by admitting her interviews with law enforcement, claiming violations of her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding that Lukasiewicz was not in custody during her initial interview, thus her right to remain silent was not effectively invoked, and subsequent Miranda warnings were effective.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","evidence","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=217073","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-tiffany-anne-lukasiewicz-appellant-d38194","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: evidence","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
