United States v. William Cleveland Merritt, Jr.
Opinion
The defendant contends that his confession was not voluntarily given and, further, that he was deprived of the benefit of counsel during the interrogation. The district judge, after a hearing on motion to suppress, found that his confession was voluntarily given, and that he had voluntarily waived his right of counsel. These findings are not clearly erroneous. United States v. Gunn, 428 F. 2d 1057 (5th Cir. 1970). The judgment is
Affirmed.
