United States v. Julian Mora-Alcaraz (9th Cir. January 2021)
Fifth Amendment, Firearm Offenses, Major Cases, Miranda, Ninth Circuit, Recent Circuit Cases
|The Ninth Circuit affirmed a district court’s order suppressing a defendant’s statements under Miranda. The officers had interrogated the defendant without advising him of his Miranda rights after they approached him in marked cars and separated him from his seven-year-old son. However, the Court remanded for the district court to determine if the defendant’s subsequent consent to search his vehicle was voluntary.
