Is a defendant's roadside statement prior to his arrest voluntary beyond a reasonable doubt?

"New York", United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Chesley, 2010 NY Slip Op 50929(U) (N.Y. Just. Ct. 5/24/2010), 2010 NY Slip Op 50929 (N.Y. Just. Ct. 2010):

The court accordingly determines that defendant's roadside statement shortly before his arrest was voluntary beyond a reasonable doubt [People v. Anderson, 69 NY 651 (1986)] and admissible at trial. Similarly, his post-arrest statement preceded by Miranda warnings was voluntary made and is admissible.
