Description
1. If an accused of subnormal mentality was kept in custody for an unreasonable time after arrest before arraignment, without communication with her parents, counsel, doctor, or priest, whose presence she had requested, and was subjected to persistent questioning until a confession of guilt was obtained upon which a prosecution for murder could be grounded, it was a violation of due process which affected the testimonial trustworthiness of the confession so obtained. If upon another trial the testimony makes the question of trustworthiness of the confession a question of fact, it should be submitted to the jury upon proper instructions. Proper procedure in such cases outlined in the opinion.
