Description
Bert Leroy Hunter was convicted by a jury of murder in the first degree and sentenced to life imprisonment. No eyewitness
to the killing testified. Defendant's connection with the affair was established only by his confession. Hunter has appealed
on the sole ground that the court erred in admitting his confession because it was not given voluntarily. First, it is said to have been involuntary because it was coerced by the police by repeated and protracted custodial interrogation
without counsel and by repeated false promises by police that defendant would receive help and a reduced charge for his cooperation.
