v Cobb (KA 11-01063) – 4AD found that the lower court erred by failing
to suppress a statement made by D, because the police did not advise him that he
had the right to remain silent. The Miranda
warnings were therefore legally insufficient.
The error, however, was harmless because D stated only that he lived in
the apartment in which he was arrested.
Also, among other things, D was the only person present in the apartment
when police arrested him, and another officer observed someone throw a bag of
crack cocaine from a bedroom window. D
was apprehended immediately after he left the bedroom.
