How courts have described this case

• noting that defendant's threats made to discourage a witness from testifying are relevant to show consciousness of guilt where threats have nexus with the crime charged
• affirming the denial of a motion to suppress where the defendant said, “Just take me to jail,” at least three times before confessing
• finding that defendant’s repeated statement during interrogation, “Just take, me to jail,” was not an unambiguous invocation of the right to remain silent and interrogator did not have to cease questioning or clarify whether defendant wanted the interrogation to end
• “[R]equiring the state to prove which crime caused a defendant to flee ‘would place upon the State an impossible burden to prove that one charged with multiple violations of the law fled solely because of his consciousness that he committed one particular crime.’ ”
• \Just take me to jail\ is not unequivocal invocation of right to silence
• “Just take me to jail” was an ambiguous attempt at invocation
