Supreme Court of Colorado

Parish Ramon Carter, Petitioner/cross-Respondent v. the People of the State of Colorado, Respondent — Hood, J…

June 5, 20172017 Colo. LEXIS 440

Summary

Justice Hood, joined by Justice Gabriel, dissented from the majority's conclusion that Carter received adequate Miranda warnings. The dissent would require the warning concerning counsel to expressly communicate that the right exists before and during interrogation, and would find Carter's warning inadequate because it merely stated that he had a right to an attorney. Justice Hood would therefore exclude Carter's testimony.
