Cases
State V Walker Iowa Supreme Court case
Defendant Carson Walker was charged with operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated (OWI). After he was arrested, Walker requested to speak to his lawyer. While consulting, Walker and his lawyer talked through an intercom in a booth separated by a glass partition and were monitored by a police video camera. After conferring with his lawyer, Walker took a breath test, which measured Walker's blood level at more than double the legal limit. At trial, Walker moved to suppress the breath-test results based on the alleged violation under Iowa Code 804.20 to "see and consult confidentially" with his attorney "alone and in private." The district court granted the motion. On interlocutory appeal, the court of appeals reversed. The Supreme Court vacated the court of appeals and affirmed the district court's ruling suppressing the breath-test results, holding that the police violated Walker's section 804.20 rights by restricting his attorney conference to the booth with the glass partition under videotaped surveillance.
