Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Under the Miranda definition, a person is in custody when the individual is otherwise deprived of his or
her freedom of action in any significant way. In Berkemer v.
McCarty, the Supreme Court established an objective test to determine whether the suspect was in
custody. The Court stated that an officers unarticulated plan to arrest the suspect has no bearing on the
question of custody. The only relevant inquiry, according to the Court, is how a reasonable person in the
suspects situation would have understood his or her situation. The Court has made a distinction
between seizure and custody. To constitute custody under Miranda, the loss of freedom must be
significant.
