Show Notes

In this episode we re-argue the Supreme Court case Colorado v. Connelly.

A man walked up to a police officer who was minding his own business and announced that he wished to confess to a murder. The police repeatedly informed him of his rights, and he insisted upon making his statement. It turned out this man was experiencing acute symptoms of mental illness.

The question before the court: did taking FC's statements and using them as evidence against him violate the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment?
