Can a police officer induce an induced confession?

The case of Lyter v. State, 2 Md.App. 654, 236 A.2d 432, is cited by appellant as an example of an induced confession. There a police captain was said to have led a suspect to confess by assuring him that he would see what he could do for him if such a confession were given. In fact, the police officer went even further in that case by citing specific examples of people he had gotten off with light sentences when they had cooperated with him. The case was reversed because the state had failed to rebut completely certain statements that were alleged to have been made by the officer.
