Is a defendant's claim that his statements to police should have been suppressed because the police ignored his invocation of a right to counsel under Miranda?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Thomas, A142916 (Cal. App. 2016):
Defendant also contends his statements to police should have been suppressed because the police ignored his invocation of the right to counsel under Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 436 (Miranda) and coerced the statement through promises of benefit. Because of the possibility of retrial, we also address these issues and find no error in the admission of defendant's statements.
