Case Details
Appellate court case (State v. Jennings) regarding the suppression of evidence and statements in a first-degree vehicular homicide and hit-and-run case. The court ruled that the warrantless vehicle seizure was illegal due to exceeding lawful authority during a 'knock-and-talk' but upheld that Miranda warnings were not required for statements made outside of formal arrest.
Additional Notes
The case involved cross-appeals. The Court of Appeals remanded the issue of whether statements were 'fruit of the poisonous tree' back to the trial court.
