Description
Ruben Melendez (Defendant) was indicted for first degree murder for the 1987 killing of a fellow inmate at the Arizona State Prison in Tucson. Before trial, the trial court granted a number of Defendant's suppression motions, including a motion to suppress communications made to another inmate who had served as one of Defendant's "jailhouse lawyers" in preparation for a prison disciplinary proceeding arising from the killing. The state appealed. The court of appeals reversed the trial court's suppression order, State v. Melendez, 168 Ariz. 275, 277-78, 812 P.2d 1093, 1095-96 (Ct.App.1991), and Defendant appealed. We granted review to determine whether the trial court erred in suppressing the communications, a question of first impression. See Rule Rule 31.19(c), Ariz.R.Crim.P., 17 A.R.S. We have jurisdiction pursuant to Ariz. Const. art. 6, § 5(3) and A.R.S. § 12-120.24.
