State v. Zakaria , 2007 S.D. LEXIS 32 ( 2007 )

SABERS, Justice

(concurring in result).

[¶ 31.] I concur in result because I am unwilling to approve conduct of police officers where they lie to the suspects to get them to make admissions against themselves or their companions. Here, “the police were untruthful,” by falsely stating, in separate interviews with Reath and Za-karia, “that each had incriminated the other.” This is conceded by the majority opinion and constitutes conduct unworthy of approval by this Court.
