Order
PER CURIAM:
This is a self-incrimination case. The issue is whether, despite an otherwise valid waiver of his rights after having received the Miranda warnings, the defendant was compelled to be a witness against himself by virtue of the police informing him that (1) it would be better for him to tell his side of the story and (2) telling the truth would not hurt him. We hold that the subject statements were not coercive and that therefore the defendant was not compelled to incriminate himself. Accordingly, we affirm. Rule 30.25(b).
