No. 162497.

999 N.W.2d 717 (2023)

512 Mich. 472

PEOPLE of the State of Michigan, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Joshua Lamar-James STEWART, Defendant-Appellant.

Supreme Court of Michigan.

Decided July 31, 2023.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Dana Nessel , Attorney General, Fadwa A. Hammoud , Solicitor General, Kym L. Worthy , Prosecuting Attorney, Jon P. Wojtala , Chief of Research, Training and Appeals, and Timothy A. Baughman , Special Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for the people.

State Appellate Defender (by Marilena David ) for defendant.

BEFORE THE ENTIRE BENCH.


OPINION

At issue in this case is whether defendant's statements to law enforcement, made during an early-hours interrogation, were voluntary. Considering the totality of the circumstances, we conclude that defendant's statements were involuntary and that the trial court erred by failing to suppress them.
