Pawtucket, RI asked in Criminal Law for Rhode Island

Q: My stepkids accused my wife of a crime

When she went to the police station she was immediately taken to an interrogation.

In the room where she was questioned by three police officers and two detectives, she told them she didn't do anything, and they said they had proof she wasn't telling the truth.

But they never read her any Miranda rights before questioning her.

Does this violate her fifth amendment rights?
