A judge could throw out the teen's confession unless the officer complies with the ruling in Miranda versus the State of Arizona.

Explanation:

The Miranda versus the State of Arizona ruling specifies that though it is necessary that the defendant should be given the idea of the rights that he/she has as a defendant before taking him/her into custody and before interrogating him/her, in some instances, the actions taken by the officers cannot be deemed as a violation of the rights that the defendant has. In the given case, it would seem that the rights of the defendant have been violated. But it has been already specified that the defendant was a suspect in a local theft.
