Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

miranda warning

If someone is taken to the station for questioning and then is read miranda warning, must there be a 3rd party witness? We found a statute that states there should be a witness.

You do not need a third party witness.

There could be other issues with the questioning that could warrant suppression of the statement.

Feel free to give me a ring if you would like to chat further about the case; My office is here in Broward County.
