Eric’s “Motion to Suppress” granted in part.
“Despite the Court’s conclusion that factors one through four weigh in favor of the voluntary nature of Defendant’s statements, those factors simply do not outweigh the coercive effect that the physical and psychological suffering at the hands of BOP officials apparently had on Defendant.5 Therefore, in light of the foregoing, the Court finds that the Government has not met its burden to demonstrate that Defendant’s statements at the interview were voluntary.

CONTENT/TRIGGER warning… state sanctioned torture and violence. [While its uncomfortable for *US* to see this photo, and it brings all sorts of feelings imagine what this felt like for Eric.
