What is the effect of long-term detention of a defendant in a criminal case?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Smith, 574 F.2d 707 (2nd Cir. 1978):
Smith urges that he was detained "for longer than a reasonable period of time before being brought before a magistrate." Thus, he contends, his confession must be suppressed. Appellant relies upon two previous decisions of this court on this point, United States v. Binet, 442 F.2d 296 (2d Cir. 1971) and United States v. Glover, 372 F.2d 43 (2d Cir. 1967), both of which are distinguishable from the instant case.
