“The Supreme Court has consistently made clear that the test of voluntariness is whether an examination of all the circumstances discloses that the conduct of “law enforcement officers was such as to overbear [the defendant’s] will to resist and bring about confessions not freely self determined.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““But a confession in order to be admissible must be free and voluntary; that is, must not be extracted by any sort of threats or violence, nor obtained by any direct or implied promises, however slight, nor by the exertion of any improper influence.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Webb v. State · Johnson v. State“not the product of duress or coercion on the part of the police.”
