People v. Palacios

Summary

The Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division, holding that the People failed to prove that the arresting officers received and relied on the detective’s probable‑cause I‑card, so the defendant’s statement was obtained from an unlawful arrest and must be suppressed. The Court also affirmed that the defendant’s Miranda waiver was knowing, voluntary, and intelligent, but that finding was not essential to the suppression ruling.
