The Causes of False Confession: Misclassification, Coercion, and Contamination The Misclassification Error. The first mistake occurs when detectives erroneously decide that an innocent person is guilty. The Coercion Error. The Contamination Error.
Under the so-called Aranda/Bruton doctrine, a trial court may generally not allow a jury in a joint criminal trial of a defendant and codefendant to hear the unredacted confession of the codefendant that also directly implicates the defendanteven if the jury is instructed not to consider the confession as evidence
Under Bruton, a non-testifying co-defendants confession that inculpates another defendant is inadmissible at their joint trial, even if the jury is instructed that the confession can only be used as evidence against the confessor.
The Bruton rule stems from the case; United States v. Bruton, 391 U.S. 123 (1968). The basis of the rule is that criminal defendants have the constitutional right to confrontation that is the right to cross-examine witnesses against them.
A confession can serve as powerful evidence of a suspects guilt, but criminal defendants have a constitutional right against self-incrimination. An involuntary confession that was coerced by a police officer cannot be used against a defendant in court, regardless of whether it was true.

The Bruton rule stems from the case; United States v. Bruton, 391 U.S. 123 (1968). The basis of the rule is that criminal defendants have the constitutional right to confrontation that is the right to cross-examine witnesses against them.
Researchers who study this phenomenon have determined that the following factors contribute to or cause false confessions: Real or perceived intimidation of the suspect by law enforcement. Use of force by law enforcement during the interrogation, or perceived threat of force.
Because the Bruton rule is not limited to confessions procured by police interrogation, issues may arise as to whether a confession is testimonial and subject to the confrontation clause at all.
Bruton bars the introduction of a non-testifying co-defendants confession that impliedly implicates the defendant, even if the defendants name was redacted from the confession. Richardson v. Marsh, 481 U.S. 200 (1987)
When a criminal defense attorney or public defender files an Aranda-Bruton Motion, he is seeking to keep a co-defendants damaging statement about his client from being exposed to the jury.
