Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James E. Beal, Jonesboro, for appellant.

Richard Ieyoub, Atty. Gen., Walter E. May, Jr., Dist. Atty., Douglas L. Stokes, Asst. Dist. Atty., for appellee.

Before SEXTON, VICTORY and BROWN, JJ.


VICTORY, Judge.

Defendant, Gregory Leonard, was convicted by a jury of simple burglary of an inhabited dwelling and sentenced to 18-years at hard labor after being adjudicated a habitual offender. Leonard now appeals, asserting several assignments of error, including that the trial court erred in denying a motion to suppress his confession. We agree that the confession was not freely and voluntarily given, and set aside Leonard's conviction and sentence.
