People v. Murdock

This case presents question as to whether, in prosecution on murder and aggravated battery charges, trial court properly denied defendant’s motion to suppress his statements made to police following his arrest. While defendant argued that certain provisions of Juvenile Ct. Act should have been followed by police due to fact that defendant was 16 at time of interrogation, Appellate Court found that interrogation of defendant, which was videotaped, was not oppressive, and that police did not abuse his rights. (Dissent filed.)
