The passage is for the following question.
Up to now, confessions that have been obtained from defendants in a hypnotic state have not been admitted into evidence by courts in the United States. Experts in the field of hypnosis have found that such confessions are not completely reliable. Subjects in a hypnotic state may confess to Line crimes they did not commit for one of two reasons. Either they fantasize that they committed the (5) crimes or they believe that others want them to confess.
A landmark case concerning a confession obtained under hypnosis went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. In the case of Layra v. Denno, a suspect was hypnotized by a psychiatrist for the district attorney; in a posthypnotic state the suspect signed three separate confessions to a murder. The Supreme Court ruled that the confessions were invalid because the confessions had been the only (JO) evidence against him.
Which of the following best describes the author's purpose in this passage?
To explain the details of a specific court case
To demonstrate why confessions made under hypnosis are not reliable
To clarify the role of the Supreme Court in invalidating confessions from hypnotized subjects
To explain the legal status of hypnotically induced confessions
