What is the test for admitting an admission of a statement to a police officer that he would kill the first police officer to step inside his cell if he was not permitted to visit with his wife?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Silva, 247 Cal.Rptr. 573, 45 Cal.3d 604, 754 P.2d 1070 (Cal. 1988):
Defendant challenges the admission of his statement to a police officer that he would kill the first police officer to step inside his cell if he was not permitted to visit with his wife. Defendant claims that this statement was inadmissible, relying upon our opinion in People v. Boyd (1985) 38 Cal.3d 762, 215 Cal.Rptr. 1, 700 P.2d 782. The Attorney General concedes the error, but argues it was harmless.
