Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Gary Graves, Appellant.

Opinion:
The second statement must also be suppressed. We cannot conclude on this record that there was "such a definite, pronounced break in the interrogation that the defendant may be said to have returned, in effect, to the status of one who is not under the influence of questioning" (People v Chapple, 38 NY2d 112, 115). Defendant's statement at the police station must therefore be suppressed as the product of a continuous interrogation (see, People v Bethea, 67 NY2d 364; People v Chapple, supra; People v Campbell, 123 AD2d 878; People v Bodner, 75 AD2d 440).
