Wesley Ray Creager, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals held that the appellant's written confession was not voluntary because it was the product of improper persuasion by the investigator during interrogation, and therefore must be suppressed. The Court vacated the judgment of the Court of Appeals and remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. Justice OVERSTREET dissented, arguing that the per se rule of inadmissibility should apply to any "for or against" statements, even after proper warnings. Justice MEYERS concurred in the result but emphasized the totality‑of‑circumstances analysis.
