How courts have described this case

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

• finding a defendant’s confession was made knowingly and voluntarily after the defendant initiated further communication and waived his Miranda rights moments after previously invoking and subsequently being re-advised of them
• affirming section 3C1.2 enhancement and rejecting defendants’ argument that a police car chase in a rural area on country roads containing no other vehicles or pedestrians “falls, short of recklessness,” as the argument did not account for “the risk to the officers involved”
• “[W]e do not interpret § 3C1.2 to require that a high speed chase occur at night, in an urban area, or that any other vehicles actually ended up in harm’s way.”
