United States Tenth Circuit
US v. Smith, 09-2040
Defendant's conviction and sentence for sexual assault are affirmed where: 1) nothing suggested that defendant was intoxicated or otherwise incapable of sufficient comprehension, when the police advised him of his Miranda rights or when he signed the form acknowledging that he had been apprised of, understood, and waived those rights; 2) the presentment rule did not support suppressing defendant's confession; 3) the victim's statement that she had been raped constituted an excited utterance; and 4) the conditions of defendant's supervised release were linked to the offense and no broader than necessary to rehabilitate the defendant and protect the public.
