Hairston v. United States, Nos. 00-CF-1045 and 03-CO-417, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA COURT OF APPEALS, August 17, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court did not violate the Fifth Amendment by denying defendant's motion to suppress his confession, where his interrogation was in two phases. A detective elicited none of the details from defendant in phase one that emerged in phase two, and the Miranda warnings would meaningfully apprise a suspect of the right or choice to remain silent.

Overview: Statements of appellee, a juvenile, were properly suppressed when appellee had not been given Miranda warnings.

View this case - free  

Overview: Discovery sanctions were properly imposed on a customer in his action against a bank and one of its employees, and resulting summary judgment in favor of appellees was also proper. However, award of costs to bank under D.C. Super. Ct. Civ. R. 68 was improper; Rule 68 did not apply when a defendant was the prevailing party.

Young-Jones v. Bell, No. 05-FM-653, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA COURT OF APPEALS, August 17, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: In a divorce, the trial court's statement that it had considered the factors in D.C. Code § 16-910 in dividing sales proceeds did not allow meaningful appellate review. It had left unresolved a number of conflicts in testimony relating to the factors, and it appeared that consideration of each factor might lead to a different result.
