Does a defendant have to suppress his statements at trial on the grounds that they were involuntary?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Nomesiri, C075767 (Cal. App. 2015):
Defendant contends his pretrial statements should have been suppressed because they were involuntary and the police did not follow Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 436 [16 L.Ed.2d 694].
Defendant did not move to suppress his statements on these grounds, nor interpose Miranda or involuntariness objections when they were introduced into evidence, therefore he forfeited the claims. (See People v. Milner (1988) 45 Cal.4th 227, 236-237.)
