Miranda Violations Mandate Suppression.

A police officer approached defendant who was in a parked car. The officer smelled a “strong odor of unburnt marijuana coming from the defendant’s vehicle’s open window.”  The officer asked if the occupants of the vehicle had “anything illegal.”  The defendant produced a small bag of marijuana.  The officer then told the defendant to get out of the vehicle “as he was now under arrest for unlawful possession of marijuana.”  The officer searched the vehicle and found two bags of marijuana under the driver’s seat.  When he asked the defendant if the bags of marijuana were his, he said “yes.”  A gun was also recovered in the search.  The defendant was taken to the police station where he was read his Miranda rights for the first time and he declined to speak with the detective. Two hours later the arresting officer told the defendant that if no one confessed to owning the gun, everyone in the vehicle would be “equally charged.”  The defendant then asked to speak to the detective.  He was read his Miranda rights again and confessed to owning the gun.  The Second Department suppressed the marijuana and the gun—the marijuana because the defendant was in custody and had not been read his rights at the time he was asked about it—and the gun because defendant had initially refused to speak with the police thereby asserting his right to remain silent.  Subsequent questioning was not proper.  People vs. Jackson, 2011-05745, Ind. No. 10-00130 Second Dept. 2-20-13
