U.S. v. Felders

In prosecution on unlawful possession of firearm charge, Dist. Ct. did not err in denying defendant’s motion to suppress statements made to police, even though defendant claimed that officer had failed to give him appropriate Miranda warnings. Defendant conceded that officer read him warnings from card, and officer testified that state had issued him said card from which he had read warnings. Burden of persuasion remained on defendant, such that silence in record regarding contents of card that was read to defendant did not establish that any error had occurred, and that defendant needed to show what was on said card.
