State v. Wright

Defendant was charged with sexual assault in the third degree and sexual assault in the fourth degree for engaging in sexual intercourse and having sexual contact with an inmate while Defendant was employed at the Arkansas Department of Correction. Defendant filed a motion to suppress, arguing that statements he had made in a recorded interview as part of the application process to be a state trooper had been made involuntarily and without his having been advised of his Miranda rights. The circuit court granted Defendant’s motion. The State brought an interlocutory appeal. The Supreme Court dismissed the interlocutory appeal because the correct and uniform administration of justice was not at issue.View "State v. Wright" on Justia Law
