  4. Serrano v. State

    662 S.E.2d 280 (Ga. Ct. App. 2008)   Cited 2 times

    Thus, even in light of Serrano's testimony to the contrary, the record supports the trial court's conclusion that Serrano understood his Miranda rights and knowingly and voluntarily waived the same. Jaxo v. State, 272 Ga. 355, 356 (2) ( 528 SE2d 807) (2000). Finding that the trial court did not err in denying either Serrano's motion to suppress the methamphetamine seized during the consensual search of his vehicle or his motion to suppress his voluntary custodial statement, we affirm the trial court's denial of Serrano's motion for a new trial.
