Scenario: You are a city court judge. You are hearing a case in which the defense is arguing to suppress the statements of the juvenile defendant. The defense claims that the police officer compelled her client to incriminate himself. The police officer testified that he read the rights directly from the standard card used by the police department. You then asked the officer if he said anything to the suspect that may have compelled him to talk. The officer answers that all he said was I decide if you get to go home tonight or stay in jail, so you better cooperate with me.
  Question: Should the defendant's statements be admissible based on the officer's testimony?
