Description
1. Defendant Tashia Beer has been charged with first degree murder in the February 2000 slaying of her stepmother. In these consolidated interlocutory appeals, we consider whether the trial court erred in granting defendants motion to suppress statements that she made to police on the morning of the murder, and denying her motion to dismiss on speedy trial and due process grounds. The State challenges the ruling on the motion to suppress, arguing that the court erred in finding that defendant was subject to an illegal "de facto arrest" on the morning of the murder, and that she was subjected to "custodial interrogation" by police officers. Defendant challenges the courts denial of her motion to dismiss, arguing that her speedy trial and due process rights were violated by the twenty-six month delay between her "de facto arrest" in February 2000 and her indictment for first degree murder in April 2002. We affirm both orders.
