- Written by Tanya Munson, JD
Facts
Charles Dickerson (defendant) was questioned about a bank robbery when he made statements to police admitting that he was the getaway driver. Dickerson was arrested and indicted for bank robbery. Dickerson filed a motion to suppress the statements he made to police, arguing that the statements were inadmissible because Dickerson was not given proper Miranda warnings before the interrogation. The district court granted Dickerson’s motion. The government (plaintiff) appealed.
