Murphy, P.J.
(concurring). I concur in affirming defendant’s conviction. The circuit court made factual findings that this was not a situation "where the delay in bringing the defendant . . . before the Probate Court Juvenile division was used as a tool to extract the confession or inculpatory statement.” I am not prepared to say that the trial court clearly erred in this factual finding.
Also, when considering the totality of the circumstances, I would conclude, as did the probate court and the circuit court, that the statement by defendant was voluntary and thus admissible. People v Irby, 129 Mich App 306, 315-321; 342 NW2d 303 (1983), lv den 418 Mich 951 (1984).
