Mass. · 1979 · confidence medium
The judge concluded that the defendant’s judgment at that time was "dim” and "impaired.” If it should be assumed that this condition would not alone justify suppression of the admissions (compare Commonwealth v. White, 374 Mass. 132 [1977], aff'd by an equally divided court, 439 U.S. 280 *567 [1978], with Commonwealth v. Doyle, ante 132 [1979]), it would still be entitled to count in the judge’s total assessment.
