Aubrey Joe Easley v. Dr. George J. Beto, Director, Texas Department of Corrections
Aubrey Joe Easley v. Dr. George J. Beto, Director, Texas Department of Corrections
Opinion
On this appeal from the denial of habeas corpus relief below, we have carefully considered the appellant’s contention that he was convicted on the basis of a confession obtained from him when he had not knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived his Miranda rights. The court below found that appellant was given a full Miranda warning, and that he signed a written confession which contained a full waiver of Miranda rights. No formal statement of waiver by the accused before he confesses is required. Narro v. United States, 5th Cir. 1966, 370 F.2d 329. We think the findings of the court below are justified by the evidence in this case, and we therefore affirm.
Affirmed.
