221210P.pdf   04/06/2023  United States  v.  Anthony Harris
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-1210
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City   
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Loken and Colloton, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law. Defendant's voluntary statements were admissible; intoxication does not preclude a valid waiver of Miranda rights, and defendant's intoxication did not cause his will to be overborne; later statement to an officer concerning a stolen car, made after defendant received his Miranda rights, was admissible because defendant had not unequivocally invoked his right of silence; the district court did not abuse its discretion in declining to reopen the suppression hearing to permit defendant to introduce additional evidence on his intoxication as the proposed evidence did not address the question of whether defendant was so intoxicated he could not waive his Miranda rights.
