Custodial interrogation: juveniles.<\/p>\n<p>Existing law authorizes a peace officer to take a minor into temporary custody when that officer has reasonable cause to believe that the minor has committed a crime or violated an order of the juvenile court. In these circumstances, existing law requires the peace officer to advise the minor that anything he or she says can be used against him or her, that he or she has the right to remain silent, that he or she has the right to have counsel present during any interrogation, and that he or she has the right to have counsel appointed if he or she is unable to afford counsel.<\/p>\n<p>This bill would require that a youth 15 years of age or younger consult with legal counsel in person, by telephone, or by video conference prior to a custodial interrogation and before waiving any of the above-specified rights. The bill would prohibit a waiver of the consultation. The bill would require the court to consider the effect of the failure to comply with the above-specified requirement in adjudicating the admissibility of statements of a youth 15 years of age or younger made during or after a custodial interrogation. The bill would clarify that these provisions do not apply to the admissibility of statements of a youth 15 years of age or younger if certain criteria are met.<\/p>\n<p>This bill would require the Governor, or his or designee, to convene a panel of at least 7 experts, as specified, no later than January 1, 2023. The bill would require the panel to review, and to examine the effects and outcomes related to, the implementation of the above-described requirements, as specified, and to provide, no later than April 1, 2024, certain information to the Legislature and the Governor.<\/p>\n<p>This bill would repeal these requirements on January 1, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Vote:\u00a0majority\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Appropriation:\u00a0no\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Fiscal Committee:\u00a0no\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Local Program:\u00a0no<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:<\/p>\n<p><strong>SECTION 1.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:<\/p>\n<p>(a)\u00a0Developmental and neurological science concludes that the process of cognitive brain development continues into adulthood, and that the human brain undergoes \u201cdynamic changes throughout adolescence and well into young adulthood\u201d (see Richard J. Bonnie, et al., Reforming Juvenile Justice: A Developmental Approach, National Research Council (2013), page 96, and Chapter 4). As recognized by the United States Supreme Court, children \u201c\u2018generally are less mature and responsible than adults\u2019\u201d (J.D.B. v. North Carolina (2011) 131 S.Ct. 2394, 2397, quoting Eddings v. Oklahoma (1982) 455 U.S. 104, 115); \u201cthey \u2018often lack the experience, perspective, and judgment to recognize and avoid choices that could be detrimental to them\u2019\u201d (J.D.B., 131 S.Ct. at 2397, quoting Bellotti v. Baird (1979) 443 U.S. 622, 635); \u201cthey \u2018are more vulnerable or susceptible to\u2026 outside pressures\u2019 than adults\u201d (J.D.B., 131 S.Ct. at 2397, quoting Roper v. Simmons (2005) 543 U.S. 551, 569); they \u201chave limited understandings of the criminal justice system and the roles of the institutional actors within it\u201d (Graham v. Florida (2010) 560 U.S. 48, 78); and \u201cchildren characteristically lack the capacity to exercise mature judgment and possess only an incomplete ability to understand the world around them\u201d (J.D.B., 131 S.Ct. at 2397).<\/p>\n<p>(b)\u00a0Custodial interrogation of an individual by the state requires that the individual be advised of his or her rights and make a knowing, intelligent, and voluntary waiver of those rights before the interrogation proceeds. People under 18 years of age have a lesser ability as compared to adults to comprehend the meaning of their rights and the consequences of waiver. Additionally, a large body of research has established that adolescent thinking tends to either ignore or discount future outcomes and implications, and disregard long-term consequences of important decisions (see, e.g., Steinberg et al., \u201cAge Differences in Future Orientation and Delay Discounting,\u201d Child Development, vol. 80 (2009), pp. 28-44; William Gardner and Janna Herman, \u201cAdolescents\u2019 AIDS Risk Taking: A Rational Choice Perspective,\u201d in Adolescents in the AIDS Epidemic, ed. William Gardner et al. (San Francisco: Jossey Bass, 1990), pp. 17, 25-26; Marty Beyer, \u201cRecognizing the Child in the Delinquent,\u201d Kentucky Children\u2019s Rights Journal, vol. 7 (Summer 1999), pp. 16-17; National Juvenile Justice Network, \u201cUsing Adolescent Brain Research to Inform Policy: A Guide for Juvenile Justice Advocates,\u201d September 2012, pp. 1-2; Catherine C. Lewis, \u201cHow Adolescents Approach Decisions: Changes over Grades Seven to Twelve and Policy Implications,\u201d Child Development, vol. 52 (1981), pp. 538, 541-42). Addressing the specific context of police interrogation, the United States Supreme Court observed that events that \u201cwould leave a man cold and unimpressed can overawe and overwhelm a lad in his early teens\u201d (Haley v. Ohio (1948) 332 U.S. 596, 599 (plurality opinion)), and noted that \u201c\u2018no matter how sophisticated,\u2019 a juvenile subject of police interrogation \u2018cannot be compared\u2019 to an adult subject\u201d (J.D.B., 131 S.Ct. at 2403, quoting Gallegos v. Colorado (1962) 370 U.S. 49, 54). The law enforcement community now widely accepts what science and the courts have recognized: children and adolescents are much more vulnerable to psychologically coercive interrogations and in other dealings with the police than resilient adults experienced with the criminal justice system.<\/p>\n<p>(c)\u00a0For these reasons, in situations of custodial interrogation and prior to making a waiver of rights under Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 436, youth under 18 years of age should consult with legal counsel to assist in their understanding of their rights and the consequences of waiving those rights.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEC. 2.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Section 625.6 is added to the Welfare and Institutions Code, to read:<\/p>\n<p><strong>625.6.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(a)\u00a0Prior to a custodial interrogation, and before the waiver of any Miranda rights, a youth 15 years of age or younger shall consult with legal counsel in person, by telephone, or by video conference. The consultation may not be waived.<\/p>\n<p>(b)\u00a0The court shall, in adjudicating the admissibility of statements of a youth 15 years of age or younger made during or after a custodial interrogation, consider the effect of failure to comply with subdivision (a).<\/p>\n<p>(c)\u00a0This section does not apply to the admissibility of statements of a youth 15 years of age or younger if both of the following criteria are met:<\/p>\n<p>(1)\u00a0The officer who questioned the youth reasonably believed the information he or she sought was necessary to protect life or property from an imminent threat.<\/p>\n<p>(2)\u00a0The officer\u2019s questions were limited to those questions that were reasonably necessary to obtain that information.<\/p>\n<p>(d)\u00a0This section does not require a probation officer to comply with subdivision (a) in the normal performance of his or her duties under Section 625, 627.5, or 628.<\/p>\n<p>(e)\u00a0(1)\u00a0The Governor, or his or her designee, shall convene a panel of at least seven experts, including all of the following:<\/p>\n<p>(A)\u00a0A representative of the California Public Defenders Association.<\/p>\n<p>(B)\u00a0A representative of the California District Attorneys Association.<\/p>\n<p>(C)\u00a0A representative of a statewide association representing law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>(D)\u00a0A representative of the judiciary.<\/p>\n<p>(E)\u00a0A member of the public possessing expertise and experience in any or all of the following:<\/p>\n<p>(i)\u00a0The juvenile delinquency or dependency systems.<\/p>\n<p>(ii)\u00a0Child development or special needs children.<\/p>\n<p>(iii)\u00a0The representation of children in juvenile court.<\/p>\n<p>(F)\u00a0A member of the public who, as a youth, was involved in the criminal justice system.<\/p>\n<p>(G)\u00a0A criminologist with experience in interpreting crime data.<\/p>\n<p>(2)\u00a0(A)\u00a0The panel shall be convened no later than January 1, 2023, and shall review the implementation of this section and examine the effects and outcomes related to the implementation of this section, including, but not limited to, the appropriate age of youth to whom this section should apply.<\/p>\n<p>(B)\u00a0No later than April 1, 2024, the panel shall provide information to the Legislature and the Governor, including, but not limited to, relevant data on the effects and outcomes associated with the implementation of this section. A report submitted to the Legislature pursuant to this subparagraph shall be submitted in compliance with Section 9795 of the Government Code.<\/p>\n<p>(3)\u00a0Members of the panel shall serve without compensation, but may be reimbursed for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their duties on the panel.<\/p>\n<p>(f)\u00a0This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2025, and as of that date is repealed.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>SB 395<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":2019,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1191","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
