Abstract

Examining Killough v. United States, 315 F. 2d 241 (D.C. Cir. 1962) which held that the oral reaffirmation of a day-old confession obtained from the defendant without representation by counsel was inadmissible in a federal trial. Professor Dutile notes that this case marked a "further extension" of the exclusionary principle.
