Miranda Warnings – Motion to Suppress

2014AP2855-CR State of Wisconsin v. Eriberto Valdez

Eriberto Valadez appeals from a judgment entered after a jury found him guilty of possession with intent to deliver cocaine as a party to a crime, contrary to WIS. STAT. §§ 961.41(1m)(cm)2., 939.05 (2013-14).1 Valadez claims: (1) the trial court should have granted his motion to suppress statements he made before police told him his rights under Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436 (1966); (2) his constitutional rights were violated when the trial court denied his motion to disclose the identity of the State’s confidential informant; and (3) the trial court imposed a harsher sentence because he elected to have a trial. We affirm.
