Criminal Procedure — immunity
Even though a conspirator thought his cooperation with state authorities gave him absolute immunity, his statements are admissible in federal court. “The district court properly denied the suppression motion. Stadfeld’s statements were not the product of law-enforcement coercion, and the erroneous advice from his lawyers did not make his statements involuntary or inadmissible based on ineffective assistance of counsel. Moreover, to the extent that Stadfeld thought he had a comprehensive immunity agreement, it was conditioned on his telling the truth, and his failure to do so was a breach.”
Affirmed.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin, Crabb, J., Sykes, J.
