Wadkins v. State

2 Citing cases

  1. AKE v. STATE

    663 P.2d 1 (Okla. Crim. App. 1983)   Cited 43 times

    We are of the opinion the confession was knowingly and voluntarily given. See, Wadkins v. State, 572 P.2d 998 (Okla. Cr. 1977). The appellant's second allegation concerning the confession stems from the fact that the trial court deleted parts of the confession, because it contained information of other crimes committed by the appellant and his accomplice subsequent to the Douglass shootings.

  2. Tarver v. State

    651 P.2d 1332 (Okla. Crim. App. 1982)   Cited 12 times
    In Tarver, the Court held ยง 713 did not require the defendant to have a specific intent to kill, but then went on to say the State must prove the defendant committed his act "with the awareness that the death of the unborn quick child would likely result."

    The test is whether, despite a low emotional or mental stability, the accused voluntarily and intelligently waived his right to remain silent prior to his confession. See Wadkins v. State, 572 P.2d 998 (Okla. Cr. 1977) and Moles v. State, 520 P.2d 822 (Okla. Cr. 1974).
