United States Tenth Circuit

When FBI agents obtained a signed Miranda waiver from appellant and interviewed him while he was in the hospital recovering from gunshot wounds, such waiver was both voluntary and intelligently made where the evidence did not show either intentional or unintentional government coercion or misconduct; evidence was properly admitted where appropriate steps were taken to limit any resulting prejudice.
