Defendant was convicted of the rape of Ms stepdaughter. On this appeal he contends that a confession he had given to two state police officers should not have been admitted into evidence because of alleged failure to effectively advise defendant of his right to counsel and to remain silent before the confession was made.
The appeal must fail. There was detailed testimony by both officers as to the warning given defendant of his rights. Defendant, by Ms own testimony, admitted he had been told before any questions were asked him that he could refuse to answer any questions and that he could consult with a lawyer. The trial court, after conducting a hearing as required by State v. Brewton, 1964, 238 Or. 590" court="Or." date_filed="1964-10-21" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/state-v-brewton-2619842?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="2619842">238 Or 590, 395 P2d 874, made specific findings that the confession was voluntarily made. The court also found that defendant had been advised of his right to counsel and of his right to remain silent. The evidence clearly supports the trial court’s findings.
It was argued on this appeal that defendant had not been informed that counsel would be provided at public expense if defendant was without funds. This issue was not presented to the trial court in any form
Judgment affirmed.
