JOHNSON, J.
I concur in the judgment. I regard this as a razor thin case on the admissibility of appellant’s statement to his probation officer. I concur solely because I am, convinced there is substantial evidence supporting the *1431conclusion the probation officer made it clear to appellant he had shifted roles and was allied with law enforcement before appellant uttered the damaging admissions. The issue remains razor thin because of appellant’s intellectual limitations. Conceivably, this warning did not register at all or evaporated from his memory before he and the probation officer began conversing about the crime. Yet I cannot say substantial evidence is lacking to support the opposite inference.
