1. ““A confession induced by a promise of a collateral benefit, with no assurance of benefit to accused loith respect to the crime under inquiry, is generally considered voluntary and admissible in evidence, unless the circumstances surrounding the promise of the collateral benefit were such as to render the confession untrustworthy or the promise could reasonably be calculated to produce a confession irrespective of its truth or falsity.” (Emphasis added.) (Quoting State v. Churchill, 231 Kan. 408 , Syl. 1, 646 P.2d 1049 [1982]).”
