United States v. Gayden

ROGERS, Associate Judge:

The government appeals the suppression of appellee’s oral and written confessions, which the trial court found were obtained in violation of the Fifth Amendment. Because we conclude the oral confession was the product of an arrest made without probable cause and the written confession was obtained by exploitation of the illegal arrest, Dunaway v. New York, 442 U.S. 200, 216, 99 S.Ct. 2248, 2258, 60 L.Ed.2d 824 (1979); Brown v. Illinois, 422 U.S. 590, 600-01, 95 S.Ct. 2254, 2260-61, 45 L.Ed.2d 416 (1975), we affirm.
