But Rick Cofer, Armstrong's attorney, is arguing that a misdemeanor warrant obtained by the Austin Police Department (APD) in May used in Armstrong's initial arrest — before she was released — was invalid, and therefore prosecutors should not be allowed to use evidence gathered against the suspect thus far, The Austin-American Statesman first reported.
He also alleges that when APD officers initially questioned Armstrong at her home on May 12 following Wilson's May 11 shooting death, they did not read her Miranda rights and did not let Armstrong leave until she asked for the sixth time.
