Heading: Direct Examination of Agent McCarthy

Text: During Agent McCarthy’s direct testimony, Government counsel asked whether Ceballos told the agent anything during or after her arrest. Agent McCarthy explained that once Ceballos was out of her vehicle, he recited her 19 Case: 13-50786 Document: 00513080900 Page: 20 Date Filed: 06/16/2015 No. 13-50786 Miranda rights in Spanish and asked whether she understood her rights and whether she was willing to speak with or without an attorney present. According to Agent McCarthy, after he repeated the question, another agent approached and asked Ceballos whether or not she wanted an attorney. Agent McCarthy testified that Ceballos “answered that, yes, she did want an attorney, then all incriminating questions were stopped.”
