State v. Tuttle

After a stabbing was discovered at his grandmother's mobile home, 18-year-old Thomas Tuttle (defendant) was brought in for questioning, where Detective Openhowski told him his report could either "make things look good" or say Tuttle was "being a real jerk about it" for not cooperating; Tuttle, weeping, then confessed to the stabbing. He was convicted of aggravated assault based largely on that confession and the testimony of the victim, and he appealed the denial of his motion to suppress the confession.
