Edgar Hernandez v. Commonwealth of Kentucky

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Hernandez's suppression motion after concluding that police had probable cause to arrest him without a warrant, that the ensuing search was valid as incident to that arrest, and that his confession followed a voluntary, knowing, and intelligent waiver of Miranda rights. The Court found no coercion, police misconduct, or constitutional requirement that Hernandez be told the subject of the investigation before waiving his rights.
