California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Jones, F063909 (Cal. App. 2014):
The court reiterated this proposition in People v. Neal, supra, 31 Cal.4th 63. Indeed, in that case, the court found the officer's threats and promises to the defendant, when considered in combination with other factors weighing against the voluntariness of the confession, rendered the statement coerced. (Id. at pp. 84-85.)
