The Supreme Court will decide whether a suspect has to be told that he has a right to have a lawyer present during questioning by police.
The court on Monday agreed to hear an appeal from Kevin Dwayne Powell, who was convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
When he was arrested, police gave Powell his Miranda warnings, including telling him he had a right to a lawyer before questioning. Powell's lawyers objected, saying police did not tell him he had a right to have a lawyer during his police interrogation.
The Florida Supreme Court overturned the conviction, saying the police's Miranda warning was insufficient.
