California Supreme Court

The People, Plaintiff and Respondent v. William Lester Suff, Defendant and Appellant — Liu, J., Concurring

April 28, 201458 Cal. 4th 1013

Summary

Justice Liu concurred in the court's opinion except for its conclusion that the defendant did not invoke his right to counsel during custodial interrogation. He would have found that the detective's misleading response violated Miranda, requiring exclusion of the defendant's later statements, but concluded that the violation was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt in light of the other evidence. The concurrence does not state a separate disposition.
