During a police interrogation, Mary was not informed of her right to remain silent or to have an attorney present before being questioned. She ultimately confessed to the alleged offense. Under the Fifth Amendment, which of the following is most likely true regarding Mary's confession?
The confession can be admitted if corroborating evidence is presented.
The confession may be excluded from evidence due to procedural violations during questioning.
The confession is valid provided that Mary did not face physical coercion.
The confession is acceptable if it is recorded by a law enforcement officer.
Mary's confession is likely not admissible because she was not informed of her rights before the interrogation. The Fifth Amendment protects individuals from being compelled to incriminate themselves, and failure to inform her of these rights typically renders the confession inadmissible in court.
