In State v. Adkins, 170 W.Va. 46, 289 S.E.2d 720 (1982), the Court stated that "it is the general rule that the intelligence of a person making a confession is but one factor to be considered in determining whether a waiver of rights was voluntary." 170 W.Va. at 53, 289 S.E.2d at 727. The Adkins Court further elaborated: "Where a person of less than normal intelligence does not have the capacity to understand the meaning and effect of his confession, and such lack of capacity is shown by evidence at the suppression hearing, it is error for the trial judge not to suppress the confession. However, where the defendant's lower than normal intelligence is not shown clearly to be such as would impair his capacity to understand the meaning and effect of his confession, said lower than normal intelligence is but one factor to be considered by the trial judge in weighing the totality of the circumstances surrounding the challenged confession." (Id. at 54, 289 S.E.2d at 727.)
