Arizona, supra, we reverse the judgment of the ArizonaSupremeCourt.
The ArizonaSupremeCourt, in a section of its opinion entitled "Voluntariness of Waiver," stated that in Arizona, confessions are prima facie involuntary and that the State had the burden of showing by a preponderance of the evidence that the confession was freely and voluntarily made.
The court stated that the issue of voluntariness should be determined based on the totality of the circumstances as it related to whether an accused's action was "knowing and intelligent and whether his will [was] overborne." 122 Ariz., at 212, 594 P.2d, at 78.
Arizona (No. 01-488) was not retroactive, thereby denying new sentencing hearings for dozens of death row inmates in Arizona, Idaho, Montana and Nebraska whose sentences were originally handed down by judges, but whose cases are older and not in the first stages of their appeals.

Arizona (497 U.S. 639 (1990)) that the Arizona capital sentencing law, which provided that a judge, not a jury, was the ultimate finder of fact with respect to the existence of aggravating circumstances, was constitutional.
