However, they had no proof of his involvement, Under the guise of obtaining his cooperation in solving the crime, the police developed a \friendly\ relation- ship with David, On several occasions, David was taken for rides in the patrol car and would eat dinner with the police, during which time the crime would s be discussed. Before each conver- sation, David was told of his right to remain silent; that anything he said could be used against him, and that, if he had no attorney, counsel would be appointed to represent him. He was never told that he was a suspect. After several months, the police asked David to go to the station house with themrEven though the police had no arrest warrant, David agreed to accompany them. At the station house, the police, after advising David of his rights, convinced David that they had conclusive evidence of his quilt. In fact, they exaggerated the impor- tance of their information. In addition, the police interrogated David for six hours using a variety of. psychological techniques, in- cluding appeals to his belief in God and his sense of manhood. They also promised him that, he would not be sent to jail, but would be hospitalized instead. ' Finally, David confessed' to the crime, after again being assured that he would be taken to a , hospital. Was the confession obtained in violation of David's right against self-incrimination? The court said that in order to be admissible into evidence, a confes- sion '.'must be free and voluntary: that is, it must not be extracted by any threats or violence, nor by any promises..., nor by the exertion of any improper influence.\ In this case, the court said that David's . confession was not voluntary, since the questioning took the form of \psychological inducements to confess, often expressed with great force and emotional intensity by experienced police officers acting in relays over a period of several hours.\ Because of the coersive pres- sures that were used to obtain ' David's confession, the court said that it was not voluntary. There- fore, it could not be introduced as evidence of his guilt.
