The suspect has only been questioned for a short period of time, cuz the second answer, he has been questioned before, the third one doesn’t make sense cuz it’s just age and fourth doesn’t make sense

Answer:

C - The suspect is under 18 yrs of age

Explanation:

Confessions after long periods of questioning might be used, however, this was only 30 minutes. The suspect has been questioned previously, so he knows the process. He is in fact under the age of 18, and not considered an adult, and juvenile confessions are commonly false. PLUS - I got it right on the test!
