- Written by Paul Neel, JD
Facts
Inmate Charles Globe (defendant) entered a prison cell shared by fellow inmates Elton Ard and Andrew Busby and killed Ard. Afterward, an officer advised Globe of his Miranda rights and asked whether Globe wanted to make a statement. Globe replied that he did not want to make a statement at that time. The officer discontinued the interview. Seven hours later, a second officer overheard Globe talking to Busby and asked whether Globe wanted to make a statement. Globe stated that he would make a statement if Busby were also present during the interview. The officer advised Globe and Busby of their Miranda rights. Globe admitted to killing Ard. Subsequently, Globe was moved to another prison for safety reasons. An officer who was present for Globe’s earlier admission interviewed Globe a second time. The officer advised Globe of his Miranda rights. Globe stated how he had planned and executed Ard’s murder. The state (plaintiff) charged Globe with first-degree murder. Globe moved to suppress his admissions. The trial court denied the motion. Globe was convicted and appealed.
