Ninth Circuit -- USA V. TYMOND PRESTON

Crim --

Diminished mental competency not enough to TKO confession

Jury trial/confrontation waivers were good;

Hearsay in under excited utterance.

Sentence substantively questionable -- terms of lifetime supervision harsh for deft in 20's.

Dissent -- coerced confession
