The People of the State of Colorado v. Jay Carwile McIntyre

Summary

The court held that the defendant's inculpatory statements during a lie-detector-related interview were voluntary under the totality of the circumstances. Although the officer made inaccurate or potentially suggestive statements, the defendant received Miranda warnings, knew he could leave and stop talking, was not in custody, and was not subjected to coercion that overbore his will. The court therefore reversed the order suppressing the statements and remanded for further proceedings.
