The People of the State of Colorado, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Aaron Bradley Holt, Defendant, Appellee — Coats, J…

Summary

Justice Coats dissented from the majority's decision to suppress the defendant's admission to possessing child pornography. He argued that custody under Miranda is a federal-law question requiring an assessment of whether the interrogation occurred in an atmosphere inherently coercive because of arrest or its equivalent, not whether the suspect was the focus of the investigation. Justice Eid joined the dissent.
