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.
