• 2017 Ohio 2887

Syllabus

The trial court did not err in suppressing statements Defendant made to a detective following his arrest. Defendant initially invoked his right to remain silent in an interview room, and he did not voluntarily initiate case-related conversation with the detective shortly thereafter while being escorted to a jail cell. Further, even if Defendant initiated conversation, he did not knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waive his right to remain silent. Judgment affirmed. (Hall, P.J., dissenting).
