That goes to weight, not admissibility. The plaintiff wants to keep the admission out under the exclusionary rule because he wasn't Mirandized. If I was the judge, I'd say the exclusionary rule doesn't apply here here, let it in, and let the parties argue the likelihoods.

That might be a very telling point to make to a jury. Shouldn't they be the ones to decide?
