indirect confession

Read a random definition: NAPABA

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.

@baddestbunny: I did not see that comment. Sorry about that. I listen to war and peace whenever I want to fall asleep. I used to listen to more audiobooks for school. I really don't anymore but most of my political theory was learned via audiobooks. Like the basics. Schmitt, Locke, Mills, Thoreau, Aristotle, Plato, etc.

Quentin Tarantino is interested in watching somebody’s ear getting cut off; David Lynch is interested in the ear.
18:03
Quentin Tarantino can't resist putting a gay scene with a black guy participating in the gay act in his movies.
18:05
David Lynch is just gay.
18:18
Lynch is more in touch with his unconscious/dream state than the average person
18:42
Probably. I just dont know. All I know is he did a good job with Dune.
18:45
You should watch Blue Velvet

How’s your LSAT studying been going?
18:49
It is good. I have about two more weeks and I broke the 90 level on LSAT Demon which is good last night. My goal is 95 so I can probably get it before I test. It is scaled our of 100. This is for LR. My RC is below that but I know the more I get better at MBT questions the better my RC becomes.

I watched the trailer for that movie. The run time is 2 hours. May watch it on 2x the speed. Just watched se7en and thats like as graphic as I get so I kinda need a break from weird bodyhorror stuff. The sloth guy in that movie scared me.
18:51
I do like psychological horror though.
18:53
Oh jesus don’t watch the movie at all if you’re gonna watch it on 2x speed
18:54
I have never used lsat demon; how do their levels relate to actual lsat scoring?
18:56
kinda go in 20 point intervals. 20 points if you have mastered lvl 1 difficulty questions, 100 points if you have mastered lvl 5.
18:56
Getting 100 points is incredibly difficult though. anything baout 95 is pushing the 175-180 range. 90-95 is like 170-174 or so. etc.
18:56
yeah but if you’re getting a 95 on all sections what LSAT score is that? how is that calculated?
18:56
oh okay
18:57
so 100 would be a 180?
18:57
Yeah, 100 is like you would get a 180 and there's nothing more to teach you. I have only seen someone with a 100 like 2/3 times.
18:57
are you taking practice tests that are being scored though?
18:57
or just drills
18:57
Yep, they get factored into it.
18:58
I do drilling essentially every day. A timed section every 3, and a test every 2 weeks.
