New Mexico Supreme Court

State of New Mexico, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Donovan King, Defendant-Appellee

April 15, 20134 N.M. 17

Summary

The New Mexico Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s grant of suppression, holding that Donovan King’s statement “not at the moment” unambiguously invoked his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent and that police failed to scrupulously honor that invocation.
