The PEOPLE of the State of Colorado, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Natalie QUEZADA, Defendant-Appellee.

Supreme Court of Colorado, En Banc.

January 26, 1987.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

David J. Thomas, Dist. Atty., E. Ronald Beeks, Deputy Dist. Atty., Golden, for plaintiff-appellant.

James T. Steiert, Arvada, for defendant-appellee.


QUINN, Chief Justice.

In this interlocutory appeal, the People challenge an order suppressing a custodial statement by the defendant, Natalie Quezada, on the basis that the police did not "scrupulously honor" her right to cut off questioning after she had been advised of her Miranda1 rights and had invoked her right to remain silent. We reverse the order of suppression.
