Cited to Support

Lyle C. May cites these portions of the trial transcript to document the continuous nature of his police custody from his initial detention by Asheville Police Department Officer Darren Moore through his custodial interrogation conducted by Detective Judy Romick. According to the cited testimony, May remained under uninterrupted law enforcement control throughout this period, including the period before the administration of Miranda warnings.

May relies upon these transcript passages to support his argument that his interrogation was not an isolated event but the continuation of an uninterrupted custodial encounter. He cites the testimony regarding the timing of Officer Moore's initial detention, Detective Romick's administration of Miranda warnings, and the absence of any meaningful break in custody to support his claim that the totality of the custodial circumstances must be considered when evaluating the voluntariness of his statements and the validity of his purported waiver of constitutional rights under Claim I.
