• Joey Bergamine, 19, who is
  preparing for a re-trial in Fayetteville, N.C., on a DUI charge
  stemming from a July 2007 incident, will argue that he should have been
  advised of his right to have a lawyer present when his father kicked
  open his bedroom door hours after the incident to help police officers
  who had come to question him. Joey’s father is the police chief of
  Fayetteville, and Joey’s lawyer said entering a locked room, as well as
  the subsequent interrogation, constituted “police” action and not
  “parental” action, and since his dad failed to “Mirandize” him, the
  charge should be dismissed.
