“In order to be voluntary a confession must be the product of an essentially free and unconstrained choice by the maker. If it is not, if his will has been overborne and his capacity for self-determination critically impaired, the use of the confession offends due process. The determination of whether a confession is voluntary must be based on a consideration of the totality of circumstances surrounding it, including both the characteristics of the accused and the details of the interrogation. Factors that may be taken into account, upon a proper CT Page 13503 factual showing, include: the youth of the accused; his lack of education; his intelligence; the lack of any advice as to his constitutional rights; the length of detention; the repeated and prolonged nature of the questioning; and the use of physical punishment, such as the deprivation of food and sleep. Under the federal constitution coercive police activity is a necessary predicate to the finding that a confession is not voluntary.”

2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“[t]his state ... long ago adopted the rule that there is no practical significance in being labeled an accessory or a principal for the purpose of determining criminal responsibility.... Under the modern approach, a person is legally accountable for the conduct of another when he is an accomplice of the other person in the commission of the crime.... [T]here is no such crime as being an accessory .... The accessory statute merely provides alternate means by which a substantive crime may be committed.”
