Supreme Court Allows Nonvoluntary Confessions as Evidence
The Supreme Court ruled 4 to 3 that confessions may be admitted in criminal trials if the judge finds they are voluntary by a preponderance of the evidence rather than beyond a reasonable doubt, a shift seen as reflecting growing conservatism in criminal law. The decision retains the reasonable doubt standard for states choosing it and broadens the Federal Power Commission's authority to regulate certain electric utilities. Justices Douglas Brennan and Marshall dissented, arguing against admission of possibly coerced confessions.
