During a custodial interrogation about a shooting, the officers read the suspect Miranda warnings and he competently waived his rights. Officer Smith then said to the suspect that this was his "last chance" to "distance himself" from the crime by admitting that he was present during the shooting. The officers said it was clear the suspect was simply in "the wrong place at the wrong time." One officer said, "The District Attorney is going to see this. The Judge is going to see this, and ultimately the jury is going to see this, and when they hear you spinning this tale, you're not helping yourself. So, tell the story of what happened out there. If you didn't pull the trigger, now's the chance for you to tell your story."

The suspect confessed, and then moved to suppress his confession claiming coercion. The government said the confession was voluntary. Which side will win?

(Using IRAC; discuss voluntariness and trickery)
