Criminal Procedure
Miranda warnings; coercion

The State appeals from a circuit court order granting James A. Stevens’ motion to suppress statements Stevens made to police in an apartment hallway and at a police station. The State contends that the circuit court erred in excluding the statements as involuntary, because the record establishes that the police conduct in obtaining the statements was not coercive as a matter of law. We agree, and reverse.This opinion will not be published.
