1 sentence

1990In Johnson v. State, 511 So.2d 1360 (Miss. 1987), the Court considered the degree of intoxication in determining whether a confession is voluntary: We have repeatedly held that the voluntariness of a waiver, or of a confession, must be determined by the trial judge from the totality of the circumstances; it is a factual inquiry. (citations omitted) Moreover, where there is conflicting evidence on the admissibility of a confession, this Court will not disturb the court's findings "unless it appears clearly contrary to the overwhelming weight of the evidence." Wiley v. State, 465 So.2d 318, 320
