Under some circumstances the statement may be deemed to be consensual. Miranda only applies to statements made while in custody (not free to leave). An attorney would need to know all of the facts from both sides before giving you any specific legal advice. If you do not have an attorney and you are facing a criminal charge you should hire an attorney. If you are in my area, I might be able to offer my services to you for a modest fee. Please feel free to contact me.
