Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • upholding burglary conviction where, among other things, defendant’s explanation of how he obtained the stolen goods was implausible
  • officer’s statement to defendant that officer considering charging girlfriend with crime did not render confession exonerating her involuntary
  • statement voluntary despite suggestion that defendant’s girlfriend might otherwise be charged as an accessory to the crime
  • statement voluntary despite officer’s statement to defendant that he was considering charging defendant’s girlfriend as an accessory to the crime
  • statement 8 Judgment affirmed. Ellington, C. J., and Dillard, J., concur. voluntary despite officer’s statement to defendant that he was considering charging defendant’s girlfriend as an accessory to the crime
  • officer’s statement that burglary suspect’s girlfriend might be charged as an accessory “was a mere ‘truism’ or recounting of facts rather than a threat of injury or promise ofbenefit” and thus did not undermine voluntariness of suspect’s confession
