Description

This case involves the interrogation and subsequent arrest of a fifteen-year-old boy who was tried as an adult and convicted
of second degree murder. We are asked to rule that the defendant's pre-trial statements to police should have been suppressed
at the transfer and acceptance hearings that were held to determine whether he should be tried as an adult, because those
statements were allegedly taken in violation of T.C.A. § 37-1-115. That statute requires that a juvenile who is
"taken into custody" must be delivered to juvenile court or released to his parents or guardian "within a reasonable time." The defendant alleges specifically that the police delayed too long in taking him to juvenile court, opting instead to detain
him in police custody in order to obtain a confession. He insists that if the statements he gave police had been suppressed
at the transfer and acceptance hearings, he would not have been found suitable for trial as an adult. The defendant also alleges
that even if there were other grounds sufficient to sustain the transfer order, the statements should not have been used against
him at trial.
