Please read the below discussion and answer the following question on the bottom. Please answer each question thoroughly and detailed.

In Jacksonville, Florida, on the morning of Sunday, May 7, 2000, a white tourist was murdered by gunshot outside the Ramada Inn. The Suspect was an unknown, young, African-American man. The murder was witnessed by the 75 year old husband of the victim. The husband described the shooter as a tall, thin, 30-year old Black male wearing a knit cap, a dark T-shirt and shorts. A couple of hours later, fifteen-year-old Brenton Butler was stopped and questioned by police as he was quietly walking past the crime scene, which was not far from his house. At the time, the police officer said, Let's stop that guy - he might know something." Butler was placed in the police car. Brenton was wearing pants and was not wearing a hat or cap. Brenton was brought to the crime scene in the police car - he was handcuffed and sitting in the back seat of the car. Butler was shown to the husband in a Show-Up identification. Butler was never taken out of the vehicle for the process, and the husband, who wore glasses, viewed Butler through the window of the police car from at least 20 feet away. Although Butler was shorter and younger than the description of the shooter that was initially provided by the husband of the victim, who had been standing next to his wife when she was shot, the husband positively identified Butler as the killer, and Butler was arrested. Brenton was taken to the police station where he was interrogated for 12 hours without the presence of his parents or a lawyer. While in the interrogation room, Butler was interrogated by 2 detectives at a time. They repeatedy yelled at Brenton that they knew he was guilty and that he should just confess. There was no record that Miranda warnings were given to Brenton. In the late afternoon, Brenton was taken into the woods near the station, where a 3rd detective punched Butler in the face and the stomach to "convince" him that he should confess. After returning to the station, Brenton signed a confession which was written by one of the detectives. After this, the police stopped investigating, and Butler was charged with murder without any physical evidence against him. The prosecution's case was based solely on the positive eyewitness identification and the confession. The confession was admitted at trial. Butler testified that he had signed the confession involuntarily due to physical coercion by police.
