7th Circuit Court of Appeals
United States of America v. Joshua R. Campbell
22-3283
Criminal. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, South Bend Division. Judge Damon Leichty. Affirms the decision of the district court denying Joshua Campbell’s motion to suppress incriminating statements used as evidence. Finds Murphy and Cranley dictate that Campbell’s parole agreement did not threaten a penalty for exercise of his Fifth Amendment protections, and he was not in custody when he made the relevant incriminating statements. Also finds that because Campbell did not invoke his Fifth Amendment right, and it was not otherwise self-executing, the district court properly denied his motion to suppress the evidence.
