  1. United States v. Seiffert

    357 F. Supp. 801 (S.D. Tex. 1973)   Cited 4 times

    As a result of the Lego decision it is well settled that the standard to be employed in deciding the issue of voluntariness of a proffered confession is that of a preponderance of the evidence. United States v. Britt, 460 F.2d 1023 (5th Cir. 1972); United States v. Watson, 469 F.2d 362 (5th Cir. 1972); United States v. Cluchette, 465 F.2d 749 (9th Cir. 1972); United States v. Collins, 462 F.2d 792 (2d Cir. 1972). Similarly, the preponderance of the evidence is the applicable standard for proving that investigative leads did not derive from illegal electronic eavesdropping.
