Manitoba County Court
Judges Criminal Court
Philp, C.C.C.J.
June 24, 1981.
Summary:
The accused Arndt and three others were charged with robbery. At issue was the admissibility of a statement given by Arndt following his arrest.
The Manitoba County Court Judges Criminal Court held that the statement was inadmissible.
Criminal Law - Topic 5355
Evidence and witnesses - Confessions and voluntary statements - Whether statement was made freely and voluntarily - The accused was interviewed twice over a period of 1 3/4 hours before he made a statement - The accused was held in communicado, questioned persistently by two experienced officers and shown implicating statements of an accomplice and a witness - Only a fraction of the interviews were recorded - The officers could not account for most of the conversations during the three interviews - The Manitoba County Court refused to admit the accused's statement, because the Crown did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it was voluntary.
