Cited to Support

Lyle C. May cites this portion of the trial transcript to document the continuous nature of his custody following his detention, transportation by Asheville Police Department Officer Darren Moore to the Asheville Police Department, and placement in an interview room before questioning began. According to the cited testimony, May remained shirtless, handcuffed, and under continuous police control throughout this period.

May relies upon this testimony to support his argument that the totality of the custodial circumstances—including prolonged restraint, fatigue, transportation while handcuffed, continued isolation, and the conditions immediately preceding interrogation—must be considered when evaluating the voluntariness of his subsequent statements and the validity of his purported waiver of constitutional rights under Claim I.
