How later courts described this case

  • concluding that knowledge could be imputed when, before the Miranda warning, defendant had been handcuffed and told the investigators were looking into a little girl being shot
  • error is harmless beyond a reasonable doubt "if the verdict is `surely unattributable' to the error"
  • imputing knowledge of adult court prosecution on 16-year-old because he was arrested by police officers and knew he was apprehended in connection with a murder
  • directing district court on remand to “weigh all relevant factors” when determining whether police station interview of nonsus-pect was testimonial
