Judge bars evidence from Sept interview in Cedar Rapids murder trial
Linn County District Court Chief Judge Patrick Grady ruled that Cedar Rapids police violated Quarzone Martin’s rights by continuing questioning after he invoked his right to a lawyer during a Sept 26 interview in Chicago. The ruling excludes that interview’s evidence as jury selection proceeds in Martin’s case over the July 2 shooting that killed Andrew Meeks and injured Johnny Moore Jr. Martin claims self defense as prosecutors pursue first degree murder and related charges.
