United States Ninth Circuit

Conviction of bank robbery and conspiracy to commit bank robbery is reversed where: 1) the use at trial of a videotaped statement defendant gave to police during the investigation into the crime was coerced, and he did not voluntarily waive his Fifth Amendment rights; and 2) harmless error cannot save the conviction in light of this constitutional trial error.
