You are exactly right, thanks for pointing that out, the case in question is about whether police can be sued in civil court for failing to mirandize a suspect. That does not mean that evidence gathered without being properly mirandized can be used in a criminal prosecution, it would still be excluded if the suspect was not made aware of their rights regarding self incrimination. They just can't sue a cop for failure to do so. The media really needs to do a better job of explaining the impact of these decisions.
