Miranda doesn't apply here. This was a voluntary statement during the preliminary investigation, and there was no arrest which would mandate Miranda.
I'm curious how this plays out, and hope that a local can followup on the story if/when charges are filed. I'm also curious whether New Mexico has a specific "rage rage" law which might apply here.
