Drout v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided August 3, 2011 · Rothenberg, Salter, Wells
99 So. 3d 549; 2011 WL 3300387; 2011 Fla. App. LEXIS 12137 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Drout v. State

Opinion of the Court

ROTHENBERG, J.

The sole issue raised in this appeal is whether the trial court erred in denying the defendant’s motion to suppress his pre-Miranda1 statements. Because the record fully supports the trial court’s finding that the statements were spontaneously uttered and not the product of the functional equivalent of a police interrogation, we affirm. See Rhode Island v. Innis, 446 U.S. 291, 301, 100 S.Ct. 1682, 64 L.Ed.2d 297 (1980); Rodriguez v. State, 906 So.2d 1082, 1091 (Fla. 3d DCA2004).

Affirmed.

. Miranda v. Atizona, 384 U.S. 436, 86 S.Ct. 1602, 16 L.Ed.2d 694 (1966).
