1. “"* * * this is one case where delay in arraignment should be given little weight. Defendant states correctly that he was in custody for 28 hours before arraignment. Defendant concedes, however, that the offensive delay did not actually begin until the conclusion of the lineups at noon, and almost immediately after that he began to confess his guilt to the police. The second confession followed close on the heels of the first, and the remaining period of incarceration prior to arraignment, while ‘illegal,’ ‘had absolutely no bearing upon the voluntariness’ of defendant’s prior admissions [citations omitted]. Under the circumstances, then, the relevant periods of offensive delay are 30 minutes for the first confession and 6 hours for the second.” 21 N.Y.2d at 277 , 287 N.Y.S.2d at 390 , 234 N.E.2d at 436 .”
