Legal Question in Criminal Law in Minnesota

I am diabetic I was questioned by police when I had high blood sugar and admitted to things without realizing my rights and signed something I did not know I was signing and just kept saying yes because I had high blood sugar, I was in a daze and a hurry to get home to get insulin. I am being charged with 5th degree Sale Felony of marijuiana and they made me sign something when I had high blood sugar? That allowed them to come into the place that I didnt own and it was my moms place? and now they found a back pack with half a pound of weed and a ledger can everything get dismissed since I had high blood sugar in jail that night it was over 400 and they were suppose to send me to a hospital and they only gave me a random ammount of insulin and when I woke up they tested it again and it was 300 and then was given a low ammount of insulin then questioned any way this can all be dropped and possibly I can sue the department for the 8th admendment?

If a person is coerced into giving a statement or makes an involuntary statement, a court can suppress the statement from evidence. Sometimes that will result in other evidence being suppressed, if it was found as a result of the illegally obtained statement.

A Motion in Limine may be filed if a statement was improperly taken. A Motion in Limine seeks to suppress the evidence as a violation of constitutional rights. Even if it is not suppressed, the statement can be attacked at trial as being unreliable.
