13:06Supreme Court Reviews Miranda Rights

Is a confession valid if the police officer forgot to say "you had the right to remain silent" ? What if he intentionally didn't say it? As the Supreme Court reconsiders several criminal cases based on the Miranda warnings, we'll review your rights.

Guests

Bo Rutledge, Criminal Law Professor, Columbus School of Law, Catholic University of America

13:22Alternative Minimum Tax

Within the next five years, more than 36 million Americans will be subject to the "Alternative Minimum Tax." Find about this little-known tax rule (on the books since 1978), why you'll likely be paying it, and why conservatives and liberals agree that although it should be repealed, Congress probably won't touch it.

Guests

Mary Beth Franklin, Reporter, Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine
