Update: Teen Confessed To Murders

A Coeur d’Alene teenager accused of killing his father and brother knew what he was doing last April when he waived his Miranda rights, answered police questions and confessed, a judge said. The lawyer for Eldon Gale Samuel III, 15, had asked the judge to exclude from trial statements the boy made to investigators after his arrest. Kootenai County Public Defender John Adams argued that police coerced Samuel into waiving his right to remain silent, so the confession and evidence stemming from the late-night interrogation should be suppressed. But 1st District Judge Benjamin Simpson found that Samuel’s Miranda waiver and confession were “knowing, intelligent and voluntary.” In an order dated Wednesday, he denied the motion to suppress/ Scott Maben , SR.
