  • holding that defendant was not entitled to a Miranda readvisement where his second interview occurred less than four hours after his first interview ended
  • concluding that Wilkes’s statements were voluntary where he did not argue on appeal that he was unaware of what he was saying when giving the statements and officers testified he did not appear intoxicated
  • concluding that the evidence supported the conclusion that Wilkes did not unequivocally assert his right to remain silent where, after each of Wilkes’s purported attempts to end the interrogation, he continued to speak with the detective
  • stating that intoxication renders a confession involuntary only when a defendant is unaware of what he is saying
  • noting that it may be appropriate for Court of Appeals of Indiana | Memorandum Decision 18A-CR-2744 | August 28, 2019 Page 10 of 14 the trial court to assess the defendant’s demeanor in determining the voluntariness of his prior statements
