State v. Rogers
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of first-degree murder. The circuit court sentenced Defendant to life imprisonment without parole. Defendant appealed, challenging the circuit court’s denial of his motion to suppress. Specifically, Defendant argued that the court erred when it found that exceptions to the warrant requirement existed and erred by failing to suppress his statements made to law enforcement prior to receiving Miranda warnings. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) exigent circumstances existed justifying the officers’ warrantless entry of Defendant’s apartment; and (2) the admission of Defendant’s statements that he made to law enforcement before he received Miranda warnings was proper.
