In the case of People v Minniti the Illinois Appellate Court upheld a confession that resulted from an interrogation in which the police misrepresented the evidence against the suspect. "The defendant contends that his statements were involuntary because they were the result of police trickery. The trial court found that there were three instances of police deception. The police lied to the defendant when they told him that there was (1) satellite imagery showing someone go from the defendant's home to the victim's home on the night of the murder and (2) DNA evidence, matching him, found inside the victim. The police also misled the defendant's father when they told him they wanted to do a routine follow-up interview of the defendant but did not inform him that they had DNA evidence from the victim's bathroom indicating that the defendant had been present inside the victim's home. While we do not condone Officer Gardner's tactics, the trickery here does not render the defendant's confession involuntary. See People v. Martin, 102 Ill.2d 412, 427, 80 Ill.Dec. 776, 466 N.E.2d 228 (1984) (explaining that police deception does not invalidate a confession as a matter of law but rather is only one factor to consider when making a determination of voluntariness). The trial court found that there was no evidence that the deception induced the defendant's confession."
