By the verdict of a jury, appellant was convicted of forcible rape, forcible sodomy, first degree robbery, and first degree assault. He was sentenced for these offenses, respectively, to imprisonment for life, 100 years, 20 years and 20 years, to run consecutively. One issue is whether appellant's incriminating statements, some oral as made to Detective Paul MacDougall, and some being videotaped, should have been suppressed as not being voluntary. There was no evidence presented to the jury as to appellant's oral confession to MacDougall, but only the videotaped confession was shown to it.
