RECOMMENDATION ON THE COURTS' EXCLUSION OF CONFESSIONS MADE SUBSEQUENT TO THE USE OF UNCONSTITUTIONAL ARREST TACTICS BY POLICE.

Abstract

AFTER A REVIEW OF CASES ON THE SUBJECT, THE AUTHOR STATES THAT IT IS DESIRABLE TO SUPPRESS ILLEGALLY OBTAINED CONFESSIONS AND CHANNEL POLICE CONDUCT TOWARD THE GATHERING OF EVIDENCE IN A CONSTITUTIONAL FASHION. EXCLUSION OF THOSE CONFESSIONS ALONE, HOWEVER, WOULD FAIL TO PREVENT POLICE FROM UTILIZING INFORMATION DERIVED FROM A DEFENDANT'S INCULPATORY REMARKS TO GATHER ADDITIONAL ADMISSIBLE EVIDENCE SEEMINGLY INDEPENDANT OF THE CONFESSION IN QUESTION.
