Description
The Defendant, Lester Earl Strayhand, was convicted, following a trial by jury, of three counts of armed robbery and two counts of theft. Strayhand's confessions as to one of the thefts and all the robberies should not have been admitted in evidence. The State had the burden of showing that the confessions were voluntary and the totality of circumstances compels the Conclusion that the police obtained those confessions by overbearing the Defendant's will. In finding otherwise, the trial court committed clear and manifest error, even when the evidence is viewed in the light most favorable to the State.*fn1 We reverse and remand for a new trial.
