Anel Hubbard, Defendant Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Hubbard's motion to suppress his custodial statement. It held that the warnings adequately conveyed the required rights and that Hubbard expressly waived them through his statements and conduct, despite the rapid delivery, lack of a written waiver, and his report of prior drug and alcohol use. The court also held that Hubbard had sufficient capacity to understand and waive his rights because his claimed intoxication occurred the previous night and did not impair his ability to communicate or understand the interrogation.
