Motion to Suppress, Voluntariness of statement, Miranda waiver, Involuntary manslaughter, battery


A jury in the Superior Court found the defendant guilty of involuntary manslaughter by battery.  Defendant appeals the verdict on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction and the judge wrongly refused to suppress two separate sets of statements: oral and written statements made shortly after the battery and oral statements made two years after the incident.
