U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 18-3049
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Hot Springs
[PUBLISHED] [Erickson, Author, with Colloton and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Criminal Case - Conviction. The district court did not abuse its
discretion in denying motion in limine to exclude admission of statements
Daniels made a his state parole revocation hearing relating to possession
of a firearm; he voluntarily testified after being advised of his right to
counsel and right to remain silent, and that his statements could be used
against him and there were no other dangers of unfair prejudice. District
court did not abuse its discretion in granting government's motion in
limine to exclude passenger's prior conviction; any error was harmless
because Daniels admitted his own possession. District court's denial of
his motion to suppress statements made prior to receiving Miranda warnings
were also harmless error in light of other admissions.
