State v. Goodman

GEER, Judge.

Defendant pled guilty to first degree murder, but appeals from the trial court’s denial of his motion to suppress physical evidence obtained as the result of an interrogation that arguably violated his rights under Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 16 L. Ed. 2d 694, 86 S. Ct. 1602 (1966) and Edwards v. Arizona, 451 U.S. 477, 68 L. Ed. 2d 378, 101 S. Ct. 1880 (1981). Because we are bound by State v. May, 334 N.C. 609, 611-12, 434 S.E.2d 180, 181 (1993), cert. denied, 510 U.S. 1198, 127 L. Ed. 2d 661, 114 S. Ct. 1310 (1994), we affirm.
