State v. Lopez-Cardona

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia vacated the trial court's orders suppressing the statements of Lopez‑Cardona and Mendez and remanded for further factual findings on whether they were adequately advised of their Miranda rights and implicitly waived them, while affirming the suppression order for Suruy. The Court held that the trial court’s findings were insufficiently detailed for meaningful appellate review and that an express waiver is not required under Miranda jurisprudence.
