But see, e.g., United States v.

Ceballos, 812 F.2d at 47 (the determinations of the district court are entitled to “some deference because the determination ... is inextricably intertwined with the credibility of the witnesses”). 5 The issue of coercion is determined from the perspective of a reasonable person in the position of the suspect.
