Task: Questioning of In-Custody Suspects
Corley v. United States, 556 U.S. 303 (2009).
An unreasonable delay in presenting an arrestee before the court for
arraignment may impact the admissibility of a confession particularly
where the delay is not due to transportation and distance to court
issues.
NOTE: This case was largely based on federal statutory laws
regarding interrogation, however the principle of unreasonable delay
will likely make its way to state court proceedings.
