Turner v. State - 14th COA

The defendant's videotaped statements were admissible because they were the product of an unlawful arrest and the defendant did not waive his Miranda rights. The videotaped statements were not the product of an unlawful arrest because the defendant was not in custody at the time he made the statements. The defendant voluntarily accompanied police to the police station. He also consented to being handcuffed after being told numerous times he was not under arrest and the handcuffs were for the officer's protection. Even though the defendant was not in custody and waiver of his Miranda rights is therefore not necessary, the defendant implicitly waived his rights by answering officers' questions after he read and indicated he understood his rights.
