R. v. Oickle

R. v. Oickle is a Canadian Supreme Court case that clarified when a suspect's confession is considered voluntary and admissible in court. The Court emphasized that for a confession to be valid, it must be obtained without coercion, threats, or improper influence. If a confession is found to be involuntary due to such tactics, it cannot be used as evidence. The case set guidelines to analyze whether police procedures and the suspect’s circumstances compromised their free will, ensuring confessions are reliable and fairness is maintained in criminal proceedings.
