RIAA, Stop Suing Tech Investors! 114
The RIAA isn't just suing tens of thousands of music consumers; they've also begun filing lawsuits naming the directors of and investors in tech companies that they believe contribute to copyright infringement. NewYorkCountryLawyer writes: "ZDNet urges the big recording industries to stop suing tech investors, and cites the draft legislation that I posted, which would immunize from secondary copyright infringement liability any work done by a director in 'his or her capacity as a member of the board of directors or committee thereof,' and any conduct by an investor based solely upon his or her having 'invested in any such corporation, including any oversight, monitoring, or due diligence activities in connection therewith.'"

Miranda mainly deals with the 4th Amendment's "right" to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. This case is theoretically based on the 5th Amendment.
Whether the admission to killing is admissible or not may rely heavily on whether you are in custody -- that is, whether a reasonable person would believe that he or she was free to leave. I'm not an expert on border patrol searches, but it is possible that they could be seen as transitory and non-custodial (thus Miranda would most likely not apply)... guess it'd depend on the facts of the case.

Not only is your post unlike the case at hand (as discussed by the other children), you fail to apply the proper standard for criminal cases -- it's not "beyond the shadow of a dobut", it's "beyond a reasonable doubt." This makes a big difference.
