Description

James Conley appeals from his conviction for the murder of a fellow inmate at the Lorton Penitentiary, in violation of 18 U.S.C. Â§Â§ 1111 and 1112. Conley challenges numerous rulings by the district court, but his major contention, and the only issue that merits discussion on appeal, is that he was interrogated by prison guards in violation of Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 16 L. Ed. 2d 694, 86 S. Ct. 1602 (1966), and that the court erred in denying his motion to suppress his resulting statements at trial. We conclude that, although Conley was in prison when he was questioned about the crime, Miranda warnings were not required under the circumstances of this case, and we therefore affirm.
