Besides, not Mirandizing someone doesn't stop questioning nor prevent getting a statement or information, nor does it violate ones constitutional rights, it merely renders such statement(s) inadmissible in court. Even evidence obtained using such statements is admissible in court, just not the statements themselves.

Evidence obtained as a result of using illegally obtained evidence is also inadmissible, as what the Court has described as "fruit of the poisonous tree." You can't take an improperly obtained admission and use it to find other evidence. Unless the prosecution can prove that there was an independent source for the evidence, it stays out.
