1Opinion of the Court

CLECKLEY, Justice:

The defendant, Robert Russell Farley, was convicted in February, 1993, by a jury in the Circuit Court of Marion County of two counts of first-degree arson, four counts of second-degree arson, one count of fourth-degree arson, and one count of falsely reporting an emergency incident. He was sentenced to serve from three to thirty years. 1 His primary assignment of error is the admission of his confession, which he contends was rendered involuntary by improper police conduct. We find no prejudicial error and affirm the convictions.
