KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) — Key evidence in Jason Dalton’s trial, the man accused of opening fire on eight people at three locations in the Kalamazoo area in February 2016, could be tossed over Miranda rights.
Dalton, 46, of Cooper Township, faces 16 criminal counts in the shooting rampage, including six counts of murder and two of attempted murder.
Dalton’s defense team has filed a motion to suppress statements he made to investigators after his arrest, but the prosecution wants them to be admitted as evidence.
While the prosecution admits police did somewhat press Dalton for information that night, they maintain the interrogation was constitutional and a matter of public safety.
