May's allegation that Officer Judy Hensley observed the Defendant showing signs of fatigue and
repeatedly attempting to rest while remaining in police custody for several hours before
interrogation as detectives interviewed Darrell Godfrey. Hensley's statement is cited to establish
that the Defendant appeared tired, attempted to sleep, and was kept awake by law enforcement
personnel during the period preceding his interrogation. May relies upon these observations to
support his claim regarding his physical and mental condition prior to questioning and the
circumstances surrounding the obtaining of his subsequent statements.
