Description
Nathan Smith, the defendant, appeals the judgment of the Court of Criminal Appeals affirming his two convictions for aggravated sexual battery. In this appeal, Smith contends that the trial court erroneously admitted incriminating statements he made to a mental health counselor. He insists that these statements should have been suppressed because: (1) they were elicited in violation of Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 16 L. Ed. 2d 694, 86 S. Ct. 1602 (1966); (2) they constituted an involuntary confession; and (3) they were solicited under circumstances that violated his due process rights under the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article I, § 8 of the Tennessee Constitution. Under the facts of this case, we find that the admission of these statements did not violate the defendants state or federal constitutional rights; accordingly, we affirm the judgment.
