Description

This habeas corpus appeal challenges the admission of a confession at a trial which was concluded prior to the decisions in Escobedo v. Illinois, 378 U.S. 478, 84 S. Ct. 1758, 12 L. Ed. 2d 977 (1964), and Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 86 S. Ct. 1602, 16 L. Ed. 2d 694 (1966). Judging the confession in light of the standard of Procunier v. Atchley, 400 U.S. 446, 91 S. Ct. 485, 27 L. Ed. 2d 524 (1971), which applies to such trials,1 we affirm the district court's decision that it was given voluntarily. Appellant was convicted in January, 1964, by a Massachusetts jury of first degree murder, armed robbery, and related offenses. It was alleged that on the evening of August 1, 1963, appellant, wearing a mask and armed with a revolver, held up a Boston liquor store and, during subsequent pursuit, shot and killed a Boston police officer. Appellant is currently serving a sentence of life imprisonment. The confession at issue was given to the police during an in-custody interrogation some eight and one-half hours after he was apprehended.
