The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Dana R. Bradford, Appellant

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division’s order, holding that the defendant’s post‑arrest confession was admissible because it was sufficiently attenuated from the unlawful detention. The Court found the record supported the attenuation analysis, noting the intervening Miranda warnings, the independent statements of the victims, and the lack of police bad‑faith.
