LEGO V. TWOMEY
404 U.S. 477 (1972)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over the admission of a confession.
FACTS: Lego (D) moved to have a confession suppressed prior to trial because he alleged it was involuntary. The judge decided by a preponderance of the evidence that the confession was voluntary and it was admitted at trial. D was convicted and filed a writ of habeas corpus. D contends that the standard of admission is beyond a reasonable doubt.
