I think that is correct that the relatives Florida family court case was dismissed. I remember hearing it on the news that the relatives Florida family court case was dismissed. I guess I'd have to wade through weeks of stories to prove it though. Don't you think you'd still be hearing about it if the Florida family court case was pending?

In any case, I think surviving parent (in the case the father) automatically has custody of the child, unless a court revokes that custody due to circumstances that are brought before it like abuse. So, Elians father doesn't need a court ruling to obtain custody, I think the law by default grants him custody in a case like this. It's up to the relatives to prove that he isn't fit to have custody of his son.

Yes, I agree that Elian technically should have been read his rights. But, the Miranda warnings are invoked by the defense when testimony was obtained before a suspect was read his/her rights. I don't see them having relevance in a case that involves no questioning of a suspect.
