Supreme Court of Alabama August 4, 1978, 77-150 (Holt v. State)

I concur in the majority's excellent treatment of the "collateral benefit" rule, but I wish to point out that the Court of Criminal Appeals, on remand, may still determine that the trial court did not err in admitting the confession. The record may contain evidence which would indicate that the defendant's will was not "overborne at the time he confessed.
