Supreme Court of North Carolina March 2, 1966 (State v. Pressley)

HiggiNS, J.

This Court is firmly committed to the rule that a defendant’s confessions of guilt must have been freely and voluntarily made before they are admissible in evidence against him at his trial. The cases establishing the rule are analyzed and discussed by this Court in State v. Barnes, 264 N.C. 517, 142 S.E. 2d 344.
