SARASOTA CRIMINAL BLOG: Confession Of Man Accused Of Killing His Mother And Grandfather Thrown Out
A Manatee County judge’s ruling that an accused murderer’s confession should be thrown out was upheld by the Second District Court of Appeal according to an article on Bradenton.com. Bradenton police detectives violated the rights of Clifford Davis by questioning him before and after reading him his Miranda Rights according to the ruling.
Davis admitted to killing his mother, having sex with her dead body and then going to the mall to shop according to court documents. His grandfather picked him up from the mall and upon returning to the apartment where he earlier killed his mother he killed his grandfather by standing on his neck until he died.
Prosecutors have charged Davis with two counts of first degree murder and are seeking the death penalty. Despite asking for an attorney, police continued to question Davis for hours. He eventually confessed to the crimes.
