Payne v. State

¶1Affirmed. We conclude that the self-incriminating statements which defendant made freely and voluntarily after being given his Miranda rights were properly admitted in evidence. Colorado v. Spring, 479 U.S. 564, 107 S.Ct. 851, 93 L.Ed.2d 954 (1987). We also conclude that the prosecutor’s comment was not an impermissible comment on defendant’s right to remain silent, but was rather a proper comment on the above-mentioned pretrial statements.
