People v. Green

(Modified upon denial of rehearing 10/2/14.) Defendant was convicted of first degree murder. Court properly denied Defendant's motion to quash arrest and suppress, as investigatory stop leading to arrest was proper, and defense failed to shift burden to State. Information relied upon by police stemmed from various sources armed with incriminating facts; Defendant had history of domestic violence toward murder victim and had sent her threatening text messages; seizure of his vehicle was based on reasonable and articulable suspicion. Length of custodial interview was extended because Defendant's version of events continued to change, and thus duration of his interview does not render his statements involuntary or unreliable. (HOLDRIDGE and O'BRIEN, concurring.)
