How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • explaining that the defendant was not “entitled to have an expert examine evidence such as a tape recording unless it constitutes critical evidence whose nature is subject to varying expert opinion” (cleaned up)
  • remanding the case for the trial court to make findings of fact necessary to determine whether the defendant was in custody prior to his first Miranda warning
  • search warrants were not tainted by an earlier, warrantless search because “no information obtained during a warrantless search was used to obtain the warrants”
  • initial warrantless search did not render evidence inadmissible because same evidence discovered after search warrant issued based on evidence gained independently of initial search
  • because appellant did not contend his pr e-Miranda statements were involuntary, physical evidence derived as a result of knowledge gained from such statements would not be suppressed
  • initial warrantless search did not render evidence inadmissible because same evidence discovered after search warrant issued based on evidence gained independently of initial search
