General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Hutto v. Ross, 429 U.S. 28 (1976)
Hutto v. Ross No. 75-1726 Decided November 1, 1976 429 U.S. 28
ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES
COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
Respondent’s confession to a crime was not per se inadmissible at his criminal trial as being involuntary merely because it was made as a result of an agreed-upon but unexecuted plea bargain that did not call for such a confession. Where the confession does not appear to have been the result of "`any direct or implied promises’" or any coercion on the prosecution’s part, it was not involuntary.
Certiorari granted; 531 F.2d 94, reversed and remanded.
