How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that officer's lie-that co-defendant confessed-did not render defendant's confession involuntary without other coercive factors, such as a promise of leniency
- holding interrogator’s misrepresentation to suspect that his co-suspect had already confessed did not render suspect’s subsequent confession coerced
- holding interrogator’s misrepresentation to suspect that his co-suspect had already confessed did not render suspect’s subsequent confession involuntary
- noting that misrepresentation by law enforcement is a relevant consideration in the totality-of-the-eircum-stances assessment
- fabricating a co-conspirator’s confession is relevant, but “insufficient in our view to make this otherwise voluntary confession inadmissible”
- rejecting defendant’s argument that because consenter had permission to use only one compartment in bag, he did not have authority to consent to search of entire bag
