v. ORDER ON DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO SUPPRESS
SHERWOOD SMITH,
Defendant
This matter is before the Court on the defendant's motion to suppress statements
made by him during an interview with Westbrook Police Detective Sean Lally' because
his Miranda rights, so-called, were violated and because his statements were not
voluntary.
BACKGROUND
On or about December 27, 2007, Oscar Moore allegedly died of a drug overdose
at the defendant's apartment.
On January 3, 2008 at approximately 9:20 AM, Detective Lally went to 532 Main
Street in Westbrook where the defendant's apartment was located. Lally was
investigating Mr. Moore's death and wanted to speak with the defendant. The detective
was in plain clothes (i.e., jeans and a sweatshirt). He had a firearm, but cannot recall if it
was exposed or if it was concealed under his sweatshirt.
1Sean Lally was a detective at the time of the events that are the subject of this motion. He is currently a patrol sergeant with the Westbrook Police Department.
1 As Detective Lally entered the common area of the building, he encountered the
defendant who appeared to be leaving the premises. Lally displayed his police
identification and asked if the defendant would mind going to the police station to talk
about Moore's death. The defendant replied that he was on his way to catch a bus to go
to the "meth" clinic at Discovery House in South Portland. The detective said he was not
going to arrest the defendant and would give him a ride to the clinic after they finished
talking. The defendant agreed to go with the officer.
They rode to the station in Lally's unmarked vehicle. The defendant sat in the
front passenger seat. He was not handcuffed. The two men made "small talk" during the
ride. "Nothing important" was discussed.
At the police station, the defendant was taken to an interview room on the second
floor and left alone for a brief while. The room was approximately 8' by 10'. It had one
door, no window, and was furnished with a small square table in the center of the room,
four chairs, and a box of tissues and a phone book on a shelf along one wall. Three of the
chairs were placed at the table and the fourth was in a corner of the room. The defendant
sat on one side of the table in the chair closest to the door. The door to the room was
open.
The room was equipped for video and audio recording, but the defendant was not
told this. The equipment was activated while the defendant was in the room. A copy of
the video/audio recording of the interview was admitted without objection as State's
Motion Exhibit 1. The court's review of the video indicates that the camera was mounted
2 on the wall nearly opposite the side of the table where the defendant sat. 2 The camera's
view was static and continually captured the table, the chairs, and the occupants of the
room.
After a short while, Detective Lally entered the room, closed the door) and sat in
the chair on the side of the table to the left of the defendant. No one else was in the
room. According to the time-stamp on the video, it was 10:27 AM.
Lally testified that he knew the defendant took prescription Klonopin for anxiety
and methadone, which he obtained at the South Portland clinic. He also testified that,
during the interview, the defendant did not appear under the influence of alcohol or
drugs, and did not appear to be in the throes of withdrawal. That testimony is consistent
with the video/audio recording of the interview. See State's Exh. 1.
The detective began the interview by telling the defendant that he wanted to talk
about Oscar Moore's death. He also said that the defendant was free to leave at any time;
that he did not have to stay; that he did not have to talk to the detective; that he was not
under arrest; and that, "when we're done, I'm gonna take you to South Portland like you
asked to the methodone clinic. Are you OK with all of that?," and the defendant replied,
"Yes, sir."
Detective Lally and the defendant sat at the desk during the entire interview and
the detective occasionally wrote on a pad of paper. At all times, the officer's demeanor
was civil. Although his words were frequently blunt and accusatory, the tone of his voice
was always conversational and calm.
2 Neither the wall on which the camera was mounted, nor the door to the room can be seen on the video. 3 Detective Lally told the defendant, "I'm going to close the door for privacy, all right?" The defendant replied, "Yeah."
3 The detective said he wanted to find out what really happened the night Mr.
Moore died and that he did not believe the defendant's prior account to the police.
Approximately 20 minutes into the interview, Detective Lally said, "You know,
Sherwood, at some point you're going to have to provide the answers to these questions."
About four minutes later the detective asked, "What do you think should happen
to you?", and the defendant said, "Jail, I guess." Then the following exchange took
place:
DETECTIVE: You think you're going to jail?
DEFENDANT: Yeah.
DETECTIVE: Did I explain to you that you're not going to jail today?
DEFENDANT: You said that, yes.
DETECTIVE: Do you believe me?
DEFENDANT: Yeah. I mean I don't know what's gonna happen when it's all over ....
DETECTIVE: When it's all said and done you're gong to be held accountable, no doubt about it. But today I'm going to drive you over to South Portland like I told ya.
About four or five minutes later (approximately 30 minutes into the interview),
the defendant expressed his frustration with his sister's drug use and the fact that she and
others take his drugs.
DEFENDANT: My sister sits there and pukes her guts out day after day after day ... and I just ... she just takes them like candy and I just get so upset with her and I can't deal with it and I just told her ... I need my fucking meds, too. I just can't deal with it anymore. I'm just to the point I can't take it anymore. I just as soon put a bullet in my head as try ....
DETECTIVE: Well, do you have access to a gun?
4 DEFENDANT: No. I'm just talking out of frustration. I'm just scared of being sick and I don't want these people around.
Four minutes later, Detective Lally said, "Are you ready to go? All right. I'm
gonna ride you over there [the clinic]. Let's go." According to the time-stamp on the
video, the interview ended at 11 :04 AM, about 37 minutes after it began.
The parties have stipulated, and State's Exhibit 1 confirms, that the defendant was
never given the Miranda warnings.
The defendant's primary care physician, Dr. Debra Rothenberg, testified that the
defendant has been diagnosed with multiple ailments (e.g., gastroesophageal reflux
disease, joint diseases, chronic low back pain, osteomyelitis and drug addiction). She is
aware that he has also been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, ADHD and PTSD, but
she is not a psychiatrist and does not treat him for these particular maladies. Dr.

video, the interview ended at 11 :04 AM, about 37 minutes after it began.
The parties have stipulated, and State's Exhibit 1 confirms, that the defendant was
never given the Miranda warnings.
The defendant's primary care physician, Dr. Debra Rothenberg, testified that the
defendant has been diagnosed with multiple ailments (e.g., gastroesophageal reflux
disease, joint diseases, chronic low back pain, osteomyelitis and drug addiction). She is
aware that he has also been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, ADHD and PTSD, but
she is not a psychiatrist and does not treat him for these particular maladies. Dr.
Rothenberg noted that the defendant's prescription regimen includes Prozac, Klonopin,
Adderall, Prylosec, Methadone and anti-inflammatory medications.
Finally, Dr. Rothenberg viewed the recording of the defendant's interview and
observed that he looked very anxious to her. 4 The court does not disagree with this
observation. 5
4 She also testified that "his buttons were pushed" by Detective Lally during the interview, which "causes confusion for him", and that it was "not clear [to her] how clearly he was thinking". As noted, Dr. Rothenberg is not a psychiatrist and there is no record evidence that she is qualified to make these state-of-mind assessments based upon the interview video.
5 In common parlance, "anxious" is defined as "a state of being uneasy, apprehensive, or worried about what may happen." WEBSTER'S NEW WORLD COLLEGE DICTIONARY, 4th Edition, 64 (2003). That same dictionary notes that in psychiatry "anxious" can mean "an abnormal state [] characterized by a feeling of being powerless and unable to cope with threatening events, typically imaginary, and by physical tension ...." Id. Relatedly, Defendant attached several "exhibits" to his memorandum in support of the suppression motion, including an excerpt from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) that describes Mixed Anxiety-Depressive Disorder.
5 DISCUSSION
(a) Miranda Violation
Miranda warnings are required to be given when a person is "in custody and
subject to interrogation." State v. Lear, 1998 ME 273, ~ 9, 722 A.2d 1266, 1268
(citations omitted). The State bears the burden of establishing by a preponderance of the
evidence that the warnings were not required. See State v. Friel, 508 A.2d 123, 127 (Me.
1986) (citations omitted). In this case, it is not disputed that Detective Lally interrogated
the defendant. The issue is whether the defendant was in custody at the time.
To determine whether someone has been subjected to a custodial interrogation,
"the court must ascertain whether a reasonable person in the defendant's position would
have believed he was in police custody and constrained to a degree associated with
formal arrest." State v. Pike, 632 A.2d 132, 133 (Me. 1993). A "reasonable person"
analysis in this case, including an examination of the evidence in light of the various
objective factors set forth inState v. Michaud, 1998 ME 251, ~ 4,724 A.2d 1222, 1226,
leads the court to conclude that the defendant was not in custody and, therefore, was not
entitled to the Miranda warnings. State v. Bragg, 604 A.2d 439, 440 (Me. 1992).
In particular, several facts bear upon the determination that the defendant was not
in a custodial environment. The characteristics of the interview room, while somewhat
isolating, were not overbearing. No one other than Detective Lally and the defendant
were present. The defendant was not handcuffed. Although the door to the room was
None of the defendants' memorandum "exhibits" were offered or admitted into evidence at the motion hearing and, as previously noted, Dr. Rothenberg is not a psychiatrist and there is no record evidence that she is qualified to diagnose or make a psychiatric assessment of anxiety. Accordingly, neither the psychiatric definition of "anxiety," nor the DSM-IV materials are considered by the court.
6 closed, he understood that it was closed for privacy and was not locked. At the outset,
the defendant acknowledged his understanding that he was not under arrest; that he did
not have to talk to the officer; that he was free to leave any time he wanted; and that he
would be taken to the clinic when the interview was over. All of this was underscored by
the calm and civil tone and manner in which the detective conducted the interview.
Although Detective Lally's words during the interview were very direct and frequently
accusatory, he was not coercive to any degree. In addition, the interview was brief,
lasting about 37 minutes, and was terminated when the defendant affirmed that he wanted
to leave.
At times during the interview, the defendant appeared anxious in the colloquial
sense. That is understandable. He could reasonably have perceived from Detective
Lally's questions and remarks that he, the defendant, was a focus of a police
investigation. This would make many people anxious. However, at other times he was
forceful or firm in his remarks and demeanor. In the court's view, the subject matter of
the detectives questions and statements, not health issues, was the engine that drove the
defendant's demeanor and reactions during the interview.
Viewing the totality of those circumstances, it cannot be said that a reasonable
person in the defendant's position would have believed he was in police custody or
constrained to a degree associated with formal arrest. Accordingly, the court concludes
that the defendant was not in custody during the interrogation.
(b) Voluntariness
The court next turns to whether the defendant's statements during the
interrogation were voluntarily made. If his statements were not voluntary - that is, if
7 they were not the result of an exercise of free will and rational intellect - then use of the
statements at trial would potentially violate the defendant's rights under the Fifth and
Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution and Art. I, § 6 of the
Constitution of Maine. The burden of proving voluntariness is upon the State and it must
be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. State v. Caouette, 446 A.2d 1120, 1122 (Me.
1982). The determination must be made after considering the totality of the
circumstances.
Of significance to this analysis is the notion that "the voluntariness requirement []
preserves a quality of fundamental fairness in the criminal justice system." State v.
Sawyer, 2001 ME 88, ~ 8, 772 A.2d 1173 (quoting State v. Mikulewicz, 462 A.2d 497,
500 (Me. 1983)) The Law Court has "adopted a more stringent standard of proof [than
the federal standard] for establishing the voluntariness of statements in order to better
secure the guarantee of freedom from self-incrimination [found in the Maine
Constitution]. ,,6 State v. Rees, 2000 ME 55, ~ 5, 748 A.2d 976, 978.
As previously noted, the defendant was not in custody and did not appear to be
under the influence of any substances. Although the interview room was isolating to
some degree, it was not an overbearing environment. The detective's civil demeanor and
his assurances that the defendant was not under arrest and was free to go reinforce this
conclusion. Although Detective Lally made clear that he did not believe many of the
defendant's statements and urged him to tell the truth, the officer was never coercive and
did not subject the defendant to trickery or the improper promise of leniency.
6"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused ... shall not be compelled to furnish or give evidence against himself ..." Me. Const. Art. I, § 6.
8 During the interview, the defendant did not appear confused or debilitated by his
maladies or by the circumstances of the intcrview in such a way or to such an extent that
causes this court to entertain a reasonable doubt about the voluntariness of his statements.
His responses to questions were appropriate and unequivocal when the subject matter was
benign, but became morc affected as he appeared to struggle for a way to craft a response
to the detective's more direct and accusatory questions and remarks. As previously
noted, he appeared "anxious" in the colloquial sense during the interview. While his
uneasiness and apprehension about what might happen to him was an understandable
reaction to his situation, he did not appear to be in any apparent mental or physical
distress to such a degree that the court could harbor a reasonable doubt that his statements
were the result of an exercise of free will and rational intellect. In fact, Dr. Rothenberg
testified that the defendant is being treated for his various disorders, which includes
prescribed medications; that he functions well when he takes his medications as they are
prescribed for him; and that she believes he takes his medications, as prescribed.
Based on the totality of these circumstances, the court concludes that the
defendant was not in custody and that his statements were voluntary. Accordingly, the
entry is
Defendant's Motion to Suppress is DENIED.
