• describing Lynumn and explaining that this sort of pressure “distorted the suspect’s rational choice (i.e., is it wise or morally right to confess given [her own understandings of her guilt or innocence and moral sense of right and wrong]?
• false statement that a witness had seen the defendant’s vehicle in the alley in which the victim had been raped was not coercive without more
