Patrick Killen, Jr. v. United States
DueProcess FourthAmendment CriminalProcedure Privacy
This petition presents the question of whether Due Process allows federal agents to obtain a confession and a consent to search from an immature, young adult that has been startled awake by his parents and immediately interrogated by federal agents whom he had no say in whether they should be allowed in the home, and where the agents made a gratuitous threat to the mother that they could come back with a SWAT unit in view of all her neighbors and the threat resulted in the mother ordering the young man to give the agents everything they wanted.
