State v. Socarras

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided April 10, 2019No. 3D18-783Published

1Opinion of the CourtMiller, J.

*490The State appeals the trial court's order granting a motion to suppress three separate post- Miranda 1 statements made by appellee, Armando Socarras. The trial court found all three statements were improperly compelled in violation of Garrity v. New Jersey, 385 U.S. 493, 87 S.Ct. 616, 17 L.Ed.2d 562 (1967). Applying a well-reasoned body of binding jurisprudence and the text of the United States Constitution, we conclude the trial court erred in suppressing two of the three statements under review, thus we reverse in part and affirm in part.
