¶1(concurring). I agree with the court’s order reversing the order of the Superior Court and requiring the entry there of an order denying , the defendant’s motion to suppress. I write separately only to register my agreement with the Chief Justice’s view that an otherwise admissible statement obtained during the six-hour safe harbor period should be admissible but a pre-presentment statement made thereafter should be inadmissible regardless of any waiver of prompt presentment.
