Mack v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAppellant Artenimus Rayshun Mack was charged with murder and related offenses in connection with an October 2012 shooting in Baldwin County. In the course of his prosecution, Mack moved to suppress various statements he made to police investigators following his arrest, contending (inter alia) that they were obtained in violation of his constitutional privilege against self-incrimination. Following a hearing, the trial court denied the motion, concluding in pertinent part, that Mack had not unequivocally invoked his right to remain silent and that he had “purposefully reinitiated” the communications with investigators in which he ultimately confessed to shooting the victim. The Supreme Court granted Mack’s application for interlocutory appeal, and concluded that these findings were in error.
