Michigan Supreme Court
People v. Sanders
July 30, 2026
Summary
The Michigan Supreme Court held that statements obtained from a suspect who was detained beyond the 48‑hour limit required by Riverside County v. McLaughlin must be excluded unless the prosecution can show the statements are sufficiently attenuated from the Fourth Amendment violation. The Court overruled People v. Manning and remanded for the trial court to apply the attenuation analysis, while noting that the voluntariness inquiry under People v. Cipriano remains a separate threshold.
