In Colorado v. Connelly (1986), SCOTUS considered the case of a mentally ill man who approached an officer on the street and confessed he had murdered a young woman. The Court determined that the man's confession:
 
  a. was not voluntary, because of his mental illness.
  b. was not voluntary, because he had limited free will.
  c. was voluntary, because it was not compelled.
  d. is admissible, if the man's psychiatrist testifies that the man was aware he was confessing to the police.

Question 2

What rationale states that involuntary confessions aren't just unreliable and contrary to the accusatory system of justice, they're also coerced if they're not the product of a rational intellect and a free will (307)?
 
  a. the reliability rationale
  b. the implied waiver rationale
  c. the accusatory system rationale
  d. the free will rationale
