Which Supreme Court case ruled that coerced confessions are inadmissible in state courts because they violate the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment?

WRONG! Escobedo v. Illinois (1964) dealt with the right to counsel during police interrogations, not physical coercion or due process under the 14th Amendment.

WRONG! Miranda v. Arizona (1966) built on earlier cases to require that suspects be informed of their rights, but it wasn’t the first to rule coerced confessions unconstitutional.

CORRECT! Brown v. Mississippi (1936) was the first major case where the Supreme Court ruled that confessions obtained through torture and physical coercion violated the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, making such confessions inadmissible in state prosecutions. It laid the foundation for modern standards on voluntariness in confessions.

WRONG! Rochin v. California (1952) involved due process too, but centered on police forcibly pumping a suspect’s stomach for evidence—not coerced confessions.
