The Court of Appeals held that the trial court should have suppressed all the statements that defendant made before the police advised him of his
Miranda
rights.
State v. Saunders,
The state has petitioned for review of the Court of Appeals decision. Having reversed the decision on which the Court of Appeals relied, we allow the state’s petition for review, vacate the Court of Appeals decision, and remand this case to the Court of Appeals to determine whether, under this court’s decision in
Shaff,
the circumstances in this case ever became compelling and, if so, when that occurred. If the Court of Appeals concludes that the circumstances became compelling at some point during the police encounter, only the statements that defendant made after that point should be suppressed.
See State v. Roble-Baker,
The petition for review is allowed, the Court of Appeals decision is vacated, and the case is remanded for further consideration.
