MITCHELL v. STATE

No. 73-371.

289 So.2d 54 (1974)

Carlton G. MITCHELL, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

Rehearing Denied February 21, 1974.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jeffrey I. Pattinson, Clearwater, for appellant.

Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Baya Harrison, III, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.

MANN, Chief Judge.

We find no coercive element, through "gentle persuasion" or otherwise, involved in the process of obtaining Mitchell's statement. Mitchell asked to talk with Officer Spence, in whom he had confidence. There is no suggestion of improper inducements or threats. We therefore regard Rogers v. Richmond, 1961, 365 U.S. 534, 81 S.Ct. 735, 5 L.Ed.2d 760 and Lynumn v. Illinois, 1963, 372 U.S. 528
