Description

This Court is firmly committed to the rule that a defendant's confessions of guilt must have been freely and voluntarily made before they are admissible in evidence against him at his trial. The cases establishing the rule are analyzed and discussed by this Court in State v. Barnes, 264 N.C. 517, 142 S.E.2d 344. ""When a confession is offered in evidence and challenged by objection, the court, in the absence of the jury, should determine whether the confession was free and voluntary. . . . In the establishment of a factual background by which to determine whether the confessions meet the tests of admissibility, the trial court must make the findings of fact. When the facts so found are supported by competent evidence, they are conclusive on appellate courts, both State and Federal. . . . Of course, the conclusions of law to be drawn from the facts found are not binding on the reviewing courts."" State v. Barnes, supra; State v. Davis, 253 N.C. 86, 116 S.E.2d 365; Watts v. Indiana, 338 U.S. 49.
