State v. Labbe
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Roger Labbe was convicted of partner or family partner assault. Labbe appealed, contending that the district court erred by (1) denying his motion to suppress statements he made to police outside his house, and (2) overruling his objection to a statement made by the prosecutor during closing argument. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the district court correctly denied Labbe's motion to suppress the statements he made to the officers, as Labbe was not in custody at the time and a Miranda warning was not necessary at any earlier point; and (2) to the extent that the prosecutor's statement would be considered improper, Labbe was not prejudiced by the prosecutor's statement.
