Description

Defendant contends the trial court erred in admitting into evidence statements by defendant in the nature of a confession for the reason that ""[t]he Court made no specific findings of fact with respect to whether the defendant had requested an attorney prior to termination of the interrogation and before making any confession."" In light of the conflict in evidence on voir dire relative to this material point, defendant argues not only that a specific finding of fact was required, but also that the absence of such finding of fact renders without support and ineffective the trial court's conclusion that ""[defendant's] statement was freely, understandingly and voluntarily given. . . ."" We agree.
