Whether the lower court erred when it denied Duvall’s motion to suppress as involuntary his confession during a non-custodial interrogation where (a) the trooper repeatedly—and admittedly—lied about DNA evidence and proof of penetration, (b) Duvall repeatedly denied having sex with [the victim], (c) the trooper told Duvall that a jury would not believe him, [and] (d) the confession did not fit the accusation beyond the act of sex?
