KALAMAZOO (WKZO AM/FM) — Today is the deadline that Kalamazoo Circuit Judge Alexander Lipsey set for a ruling on motions made by Jason Dalton’s Defense Attorney to suppress certain statements made by the mass murder suspect to police after his arrest.
Judge Lipsey has announced plans to make an oral ruling on the motions this afternoon.
At question was whether detectives violated his Miranda rights by continuing to question him despite his repeated statements about the Fifth Amendment and that he didn’t want to talk to them.
Prosecutor Jeff Getting says because there were concerns over whether there were other victims and other shooters, there is an exception.
The Judge could rule to allow all of them, delete all of them, or be selective about which will be allowed and which will not.
