1. ““ ‘To be voluntary, the defendant’s consent must be “unequivocal and specific” and “freely and intelligently” given. The consent must be given without duress or coercion, express or implied. The State bears the burden of proving voluntariness. [Citations omitted.] The Kansas Supreme Court recently reiterated that the question of voluntariness should be decided in light of the totality of the circumstances, considering whether the individual was threatened or coerced and whether the individual was informed of his rights. State v. Ruden, 245 Kan. 95 , 774 P.2d 972 (1989).’ ””

The appropriate question is whether the evidence has been discovered by exploitation of the primary illegality or instead by sufficiently distinguishable means so as to be purged of the primary taint.” 14 Kan. App. 2d at 419 .”
