222776P.pdf 06/15/2023 United States v. Tracy Jones
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 22-2776
U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Western
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Colloton and Wollman, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. Defendant sought dismissal of her indictment
based on a violation of Fed. R. Crim. P. 5(a)(1)(A) as she was detained
for 37 days before being arraigned before a magistrate judge; the delay
violated the rule, but dismissal of the indictment is not a proper remedy
for a Rule 5(a) violation; with respect to defendant's argument that
dismissal is warranted because of the violation of her substantive due
process rights, considering the totality of the circumstances, the delay
did not violate her due process rights as there was not the quite high
level of outrageousness needed to shock the conscience and create a
substantive due process violation; the brief, narrow-scope pre-warning
statements investigators made were not a two-step interrogation in
violation of Missouri v. Siebert, 542 U.S. 600 (2004), and the district
court did not err in denying defendant's motion to suppress her
post-arrest interview statements.
