Snippets from an appellate case:
Hart and other officers arrived at Townsend's home the morning of
October 23, 1990. There, they asked Townsend for his cooperation in
other FBI investigations. The parties agree that the officers were
extremely cordial to the Townsends throughout their encounter. Hart,
however, told Townsend that if he did not cooperate, he would suffer
the following consequences: (1) he would be arrested and the
government would oppose his bail request; (2) the government would
press for the longest sentence possible, which might be life
imprisonment; (3) Hart would get a search warrant for his house; (4)
his wife would be arrested, as the agents believed they had
substantial evidence of her own illegal activities; and (5) his young
daughter would be taken to juvenile court, as both of her parents
would be in jail.
Townsend expressed reluctance to cooperate and was allowed to confer
alone with his wife. She told him that Hart was "full of it," and
vigorously argued that he should refuse to cooperate. Hart also
allowed Townsend to read the affidavit he had prepared, which detailed
the FBI's evidence of Townsend's drug trafficking.
We find no material difference between Townsend's case and the facts
of Guarno. Admittedly, Townsend's decision had implications for his
wife and child, which was not true for Guarno. Those implications,
however, were a consequence not of police misconduct but of the
criminal activity of Townsend and his wife. Moreover, the officers at
Townsend's home gave him the opportunity to see the full extent of the
evidence against him and to confer alone with a trusted and forceful
advisor--his wife. Guarno had no such opportunities. Also, Townsend
was given Miranda warnings, while Guarno was not. Finally, no
admissions were made by Townsend until after he talked with Assistant
United States Attorney DiScenza.
