New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York, Appellant v. Dave R. Jones, Respondent
July 3, 197947 N.Y.2d 528
Summary
The Court affirmed the Appellate Division's order suppressing the defendant's confession because police participation created a custodial environment requiring Miranda warnings. The Court also held that the error was not harmless, as the confession could have contributed to the conviction.
