In People v. DeJesus, 63 A.D.2d 148 (1st Dept 1978), the prosecutor communicated to the defendant that his cooperation would result in a substantial benefit. During questioning, the prosecutor told a suspect that he faced life in prison for committing a murder, but that he could "help himself" if he cooperated and named the other person involved in the shooting. Specifically, the prosecutor promised to give defendant "a break on a lot of time. Life imprisonment is a long, long time. You're only chance is to help yourself is to cooperate." The defendant thereafter made a statement, but the Appellate Division ruled that the prosecutor's promise of a "substantially more lenient sentence if there was cooperation" rendered the statement involuntary under CPL 60.45[2][b][i].
