Description

John L. Motta was convicted, following a jury trial, of murder in the first degree. AS 11.41.100(a)(1)(A). Superior Court Judge Milton M. Souter sentenced Motta to a maximum term of ninety-nine years and specified that Motta was ineligible for parole. Motta appeals his conviction, contending that the superior court erred in failing to suppress a confession that Motta made to the police without being advised of his Miranda *fn1 rights. Motta also challenges his sentence as excessive. We conclude that the superior court erred in failing to suppress Motta's confession. Because we find the current briefing on harmless error inadequate, we retain jurisdiction and order additional briefing on the issue.
