SANDPOINT — A man implicated in the shooting death of a Priest Lake man testified Tuesday that he was goaded into confessing by a detective.

Keith Brown told the court that his confession came after being advised that his former wife told investigators that she confessed to shooting Leslie Carlton Breaw to avenge being raped by him.

The confessions were made in Fort Myers Beach, Fla., where the former couple was arrested in 2007. They were questioned separately at the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.
