Defendant's responses to a police officer when the officer resumed the interrogation—which occurred about an hour and a half after the prior questioning ceased—did not negate defendant's prior unequivocal invocation of his right to [*2]remain silent because the police officer failed to reread the Miranda warnings to defendant before resuming the interrogation and therefore failed to scrupulously honor his right to remain silent ( see People v Marrero , 199 AD3d 1471, 1474 [4th Dept 2021], lv denied 38 NY3d 929 [2022]; Brown , 266 AD2d at 838; see generally People v Ferro , 63 NY2d 316, 322…

The operative question is whether, in context, “the officer should have known that his statement was ‘reasonably likely to evoke an incriminating response from the suspect’ ” (People v Huffman, 61 NY2d 795, 797 [1984], quoting Rhode Island v Innis, 446 US at 301 ; see People v Ferro, 63 NY2d 316, 322-323 [1984], cert denied 472 US 1007 [1985]).

Here, contrary to the defendant’s contention in his supplemental pro se brief, the County Court properly denied that branch of the defendant’s motion which was to suppress his initial statement to Detective Fernandez, as that statement was spontaneous and not the product of inducement by the police (see People v Roper, 208 AD2d 571 [1994]; People v Hylton, 198 AD2d 301 [1993]; see generally People v Ferro, 63 NY2d 316, 322 [1984], cert denied 472 US 1007 [1985], citing Rhode Island v Innis, 446 US 291, 301 [1980]).
