The following excerpt is from People v. Cardenas, C069229 (Cal. App. 2018):
supra, 49 Cal.4th at p. 444 [there is nothing improper in pointing out that jury will probably be more favorably impressed by confession and show of remorse than by demonstrably false denials]; People v. Carrington (2009) 47 Cal.4th 145, 174 [mere exhortation by police to tell truth, unaccompanied by threat or promise, does not render confession involuntary].)
