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

• holding that accused’s confession was not voluntary because it was produced by threats from the police that, if he did not confess to the charge of burglary, his wife would be charged and arrested and his small children handed over to the care of others
• statement made after police noted that if defendant did not confess, his wife would be arrested and his children placed in the custody of others
• bona fide arrest inducing confession, unless used as a pretext to extract the confession, does not justify suppression
• threat to charge and convict wife used to encourage suspect to confess
• police had probable cause to arrest wife for aiding a robbery
• “[W]hen the threat to so charge and attempt to convict [the family member] is made ... to ‘encourage’ the appellant to make a full confession, we cannot say as a matter of law that that confession is given freely and voluntarily”
