State v. Lopez-Cardona

Summary

The court held that the trial court’s limited factual findings did not permit meaningful review of its suppression orders concerning Lopez-Cardona and Mendez. It vacated those orders and remanded for specific findings regarding the clarity and accuracy of the Miranda warnings, the defendants’ understanding, and whether their conduct established an implied waiver. The court affirmed Suruy’s suppression order because the State conceded that ruling and did not challenge it.
