Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Miranda Rights

During my arrest I was advised of

my rights. Now the officer does not

say '' now having these rights in

mind do you wish to make a

statement.'' Instead hes says '' I

wanted to talk to you about what

happened.'' So we talked, and when i

go to court He wrote that he taped

our conversation. If he did then i

didnt know about it. Now im

sentensed and i feel like i got

screwed w/ the public

deffender.Whatr he did is that legal?
