People v. Parks

The People bring this interlocutory appeal to challenge the trial court’s order suppressing certain statements made by the appellee. We affirm the suppression order.

On December 22, 1975, the appellee was arrested on suspicion of using illegally-obtained checks and credit cards, and was charged with forgery, theft, and conspiracy. After being taken to the Arapahoe County Sheriffs Department, the appellee was advised, both orally and in writing, of her Miranda 1 rights. She signed a written waiver of those rights, and then made incriminating statements which were subsequently reduced to writing.
