Does the age of a criminal defendant have to be considered a factor in determining whether a confession was voluntary?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Lewis v. Miller, No. 2:11-cv-0423 LKK EFB P (E.D. Cal. 2012):
As explained above, a criminal defendant's age is a relevant factor in determining whether a confession or a waiver of a constitutional right was voluntary. See Doody, 649 F.3d at 1008 ("The fact that Doody was a juvenile is of critical importance in determining the voluntariness of his confession"). See also Withrow v. Williams, 507 U.S. 680, 693 (1993)
