    In State v. Rogers, 2014 ND 134, ¶ 30, 848 N.W.2d 257, this Court affirmed the conviction, concluding "Rogers was not in police custody when he confessed to the crimes and his confession was voluntary."

    A voluntariness inquiry focuses on two elements: ‘(1) the characteristics and condition of the accused at the time of the confession and (2) the details of the setting in which the confession was obtained.’ ” State v. Crabtree, 2008 ND 174, ¶ 12, 756 N.W.2d 189 (citations omitted). [¶ 28] Looking at the totality of the facts, we conclude Rogers' confession was voluntary.
