The burden is usually on the Defense to prove coercion. Most police departments now record interviews of suspects. Have your lawyer check into this. When your case goes to trial it will be admissible as evidence when you recant your confession. If a Judge determines (usually in a Voire-Dire hearing) that your confession was obtained unlawfully, it will be inadmissible. That means the prosecution won't even be allowed to discuss any admissions you made. Otherwise, you may present arguments during your trial as to why the Judge or Jury should doubt the truth of your confession.
