““It is well established by our cases that extrajudicial confessions are prima facie involuntary and inadmissible and the duty rests in the first instance on the trial court to determine whether or not a confession is voluntary and unless it so appears it should not be admitted.” Lokos, supra.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““We cannot agree with the position taken by counsel for appellant for two reasons; first, the evidence as it bears on the taking of the ‘smears’ fully supports the finding that appellant was not forced or coerced to permit the smears to be made. It appears from his own testimony that he was perfectly willing to submit to the tests. The evidence supports a finding that appellant was not compelled or induced to submit to the tests by threats or promises and the mere fact that the tests were made in the presence of officers of the law does not, in our opinion, conclusively show that appellant did not voluntarily permit the tests to be made. See Potter v. State, 92 Ala. 37 , 9 So. 402 .””
