1989In State v. Gibson, 391 So.2d 421 (La.1980), the Louisiana Supreme Court adopted the federal harmless error rule as set forth by the U.S. Supreme Court in Chapman v. California, 386 U.S. 18 , 87 S.Ct. 824 , 17 L.Ed.2d 705 (1967).

1987In State v. Gibson, 391 So.2d 421, 427 (La.1980), we adopted the federal harmless error standard of appellate review, since the standard is "most compatible with this Court's view of its own criminal appellate jurisdiction." It may ultimately be found that the admission of a coerced confession can never be treated as harmless error.

1975C.Cr.P. 921 reads as follows: "A judgment or ruling shall not be reversed by an appellate court on any ground unless in the opinion of the court after an examination of the entire record, it appears that the error complained of has probably resulted in a miscarriage of justice, is prejudicial to the substantial rights of the accused, or constitutes a substantial violation of a constitutional or statutory right." In two recent decisions, State v. Herman, 304 So.2d 322 (La.1974) and State v. Michelli, 301 So.2d 577 (La.1974), we held that this provision prevents our application of the federal ha

1974It cites the Court's decision in State v. Michelli, 301 So.2d 577 (La.1974), wherein we distinguished our rule of law under La.C.Cr.P. art. 921 and the federal harmless error rule which allows a review of the evidence independent of the error urged to determine whether the defendant's guilt has been overwhelmingly proved independently and the error may be considered harmless.

1969The federal harmless error doctrine, its evolution, and its change may be set forth by quoting pertinent statements from several United States Supreme Court decisions. “* * * While this Court does not sit as in nisi prius to appraise contradictory factual questions, it will, where necessary to the determination of constitutional rights, make an independent examination of the facts, the findings, and the record so that it can determine for itself whether in the decision as to reasonableness the fundamental — i.e., constitutional — criteria established by this Court have been respected. * * *” K
