indirect confession

Read a random definition: reception

A quick definition of indirect confession:

An indirect confession is when someone doesn't directly admit to committing a crime, but their behavior or actions suggest that they did. This is different from a direct confession, where someone clearly says they did it. An indirect confession can be used as evidence in a criminal trial, but it's not as strong as a direct confession.

A more thorough explanation:

An indirect confession is a type of confession that is inferred from a person's behavior or actions. It is different from a direct confession, where a person explicitly admits to committing a crime.

For example, if a person is found with stolen goods in their possession and they cannot provide a reasonable explanation for how they obtained them, it may be considered an indirect confession that they stole the goods.

Another example of an indirect confession is when a person makes statements that imply guilt, but do not explicitly admit to the crime. For instance, if a person says, "I wish I had never done it," it may be interpreted as an indirect confession that they committed a crime.

Indirect confessions can be used as evidence in criminal trials, but they are not as strong as direct confessions. They require interpretation and inference, which can be challenged by the defense.
