Supreme Court of Colorado

The People of the State of Colorado, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Maurice Donte Martin, Defendant-Appellee

January 19, 2010222 P.3d 331

Summary

The court reversed the order suppressing Maurice Martin's statements because his conduct demonstrated a knowing, intelligent, and voluntary implied waiver of his Miranda rights. Martin voluntarily went to the police station, acknowledged each warning, answered questions for nearly two hours, and did not invoke his rights until the interrogation became more accusatory. The court remanded for further proceedings consistent with its opinion.
