In what circumstances have courts found that the police did not coerce a defendant into signing a confession?

In People v. Haney, 46 Cal.App. 317, 189 P. 338, an officer told the defendant the 'the truth would not hurt him and he better come out with it and tell it.' It was held therein (46 Cal.App. at pages 322-323, 189 P. at page 340) that said statement should not be construed as an inducement to the making of the confession.

In People v. Cowling, 6 Cal.App.2d 466, at page 470, 44 P.2d 441, at page 443, an officer was asked: 'Do you remember saying to him, well, if you come clean, it will be better for you, or words to that effect?' He replied, 'Well, probably words to that effect.' It was held therein (6 Cal.App.2d at page 471, 44 P.2d at page 443) that signed statements were not procured by coercion or inducement.
