    • — Evidence — Corroboration of repudiated cautioned statements
    • — extra-judicial statements — Overbroad multi-incident confessions require careful scrutiny and corroboration
  • Criminal procedure — admissibility of cautioned and extra-judicial statements — Mandatory judicial inquiry into voluntariness upon objection
