New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Gary White, Appellant

March 20, 200810 N.Y.3d 286

Summary

The Court affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the defendant's post‑Miranda statements were admissible because the brief pre‑Miranda questioning was followed by a sufficiently pronounced break, and thus did not constitute a single continuous chain of events. The dissent argued the opposite, contending that the statements should be suppressed.
