Pedro Camacho Lopez, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court reversed Camacho Lopez's murder conviction, finding the admission of his confession violated the Fourteenth Amendment due process requirements articulated in Jackson v. Denno, and remanded for a new trial with a mandated pre‑admission hearing on voluntariness. Justice Woodley filed a concurring opinion emphasizing the incompatibility of Texas's procedure with the Jackson standard.
