During a police interrogation they promised the defendant leniency and got their confession. Defendant argued that his confession should not be admitted as evidence against him. The standard Courts use to determine if a confession should be admitted into evidence is whether the statements were made voluntarily. Under the totality of the circumstances, defendant’s confession was not involuntary, and accordingly, is admissible evidence against him in a Court of law.
