A quick definition of Mallory rule:

Term: Mallory Rule

Definition: The Mallory Rule is also known as the McNabb-Mallory Rule. It is a rule that helps to determine the order in which multiple charges against a defendant should be tried in court. This rule states that the most serious charge should be tried first, followed by the next most serious charge, and so on. This helps to ensure that the defendant is not unfairly prejudiced by the order in which the charges are tried.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The Mallory Rule is also known as the McNabb-Mallory Rule. It is a legal principle that states that a confession made by a suspect is only admissible in court if it was made voluntarily and without coercion.

Example: If a suspect is interrogated for hours without access to food, water, or rest, and is threatened with physical harm or promised leniency in exchange for a confession, any confession they make may be considered coerced and therefore inadmissible in court.

Explanation: The Mallory Rule is designed to protect the rights of suspects and ensure that confessions are obtained through legal and ethical means. The example illustrates how coercion can invalidate a confession and highlights the importance of following proper interrogation procedures.
