Where a defendant fails to adduce any evidence of material breaches of interrogation rules at trial and the trial magistrate—properly addressed on admissibility—finds statements voluntary and lawfully obtained, an appellate court will not disturb that finding; sentencing for those who assist illegal immigrants should follow established policy and tariffs and will only be reduced for clear and justified reasons, including correction of unjustified disparity between co-defendants.
