United States v. Geno St. Flerose, Appellant — 11th Cir. (Oct 1, 2026)

No. 24-11540 Argued October 1, 2026 Published October 4, 2026

Geno Saint Flerose appeals his federal convictions in the Eleventh Circuit. The case grew out of two shootings in Miami. A man was shot and killed; Saint Flerose also fired at a federal agent's vehicle. Prosecutors tied him to Everybody Eats, a street gang, and investigators also found other people's identifying information. A jury convicted him of gang-related murder, assaulting a federal officer, fraud and identity theft. A confession obtained through coercion by government agents cannot be used at trial. Courts examine the whole situation, including how police behaved and the suspect's vulnerability. Hector Flores represents Saint Flerose. Listen for the difference between choosing to talk and being coerced into confessing.
