00-2386-CR State v. Mora

By: dmc-admin//December 17, 2001//

Listen to this article

Benjamin Mora appeals from a judgment convicting him of first-degree reckless homicide, two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety, and three counts of discharging a firearm from a vehicle. On appeal, he argues that the circuit court should have suppressed statements he gave after he received Miranda warnings because the statements were coerced and involuntary. He also complains that the circuit court erroneously exercised its discretion when it sent an inculpatory letter to the jury room at the jury’s request.

We reject these arguments and affirm.

This opinion will not be published.
