An appeal from a non-final order from the Circuit Court for Dade County, Paul Siegel, Judge.

Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Karen M. Gottlieb, Special Assistant Public Defender, and Robert E. Godwin, Special Assistant Public Defender, for appellee.
Before COPE, GREEN, and SORONDO, JJ.
The state challenges the trial court's order suppressing the appellee's confession as not being freely and voluntarily given. Because we conclude that the record supports this factual finding, and we are not at liberty to effectively substitute our judgment for that of the trial court on this issue, DeConingh v. State, 433 So.2d 501, 504 (Fla. 1983), cert. denied, 465 U.S. 1005 (1984);State v. Belcher, 520 So.2d 303, 305 (Fla. 3d DCA), rev. denied, 529 So.2d 695 (Fla.) and cert. denied, 488 U.S. 912 (1988); State v. Gonzalez, 447 So.2d 1015, 1016 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984); State v. Garcia, 431 So.2d 651, 651 (Fla. 3d DCA 1983), we affirm.
Affirmed.
