Incriminating statements to the arresting officers.

John Doe is an individual who left his country in an effort to make a better life.
However, he does not have legal status in America and was recently arrested for
shoplifting merchandise, which was valued over $1,000. At the time of his arrest, John
voluntarily began to make incriminating statements to the arresting officers. At the police
station, detectives conducted an interrogation of John asking him about the theft. John
Doe has had no prior arrests, is 35 years old, and most of John Doe’s family still resides
in his home country. Due to the amount of money involved, the crime is deemed a felony
and John was arrested and placed in county jail, however, he has no money for bail.
Please discuss the following questions, explaining your answers in detail by analyzing
the facts presented and other factors you consider relevant; defining and explaining key
legal terms and principles; and citing legal authority (your text and other legal authority)
to support your conclusions in a 2–3 page paper (excluding the title page and reference
page). 1) Since John was in custody, what are the procedural steps the police were
required to take once John began to incriminate himself? 2) What procedural steps must
the officers perform following John’s arrest and interview at the police station? 3) The
court could choose either a preliminary hearing or a grand jury proceeding to establish
probable cause for the felony charges in this case. Compare and contrast the two
procedures. 4) Identify what issues the judge would take into consideration when setting
bond for John. 5) Explain what an arraignment is and what occurs during an arraignment
