Does the Miranda decision prevent a suspect from answering questions posed by police investigations?
The Miranda decision does not prevent a suspect from answering any question. In order for any statement to be considered admissible in court, the police have to warn the suspect of his constitutional rights consistent with the ruling in the Miranda case. Once the suspect has been warned of his constitutional rights -- the right to remain silent and not answer any questions, the right to have a lawyer present, the right to not answer any further questions even if certain questions have been answered, the right to have a lawyer present even if one cannot afford it, and that any statement the suspect makes can be used against him later on in court -- the suspect is then free to make whatever statement he wants.
