Can a defendant bring a motion to suppress his statement to the police and a prosecutor make prejudicial misconduct in closing argument?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Tran, G053008 (Cal. App. 2017):
Defendant asserts the court erred by denying his pretrial motion to suppress his statement to the police because they violated his rights under Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 436 (Miranda), and the prosecutor committed prejudicial misconduct in closing argument. We conclude neither contention has merit and affirm the judgment.
