MN HF2319

Creates new law in Minnesota Statutes chapter 634 to presume inadmissible any admission, confession, or statement made during custodial interrogation if law enforcement or juvenile court officials knowingly communicated false facts about evidence or unauthorized statements regarding leniency.

False facts about evidence are only grounds for inadmissibility if the evidence would be material to assessing suspected or alleged criminal conduct of the person interrogated.

The state may overcome the presumption of inadmissibility by proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the admission, confession, or statement was voluntary, reliable, and not induced by the prohibited acts.

Applies to written or oral statements made on or after January 1, 2025.
