A quick definition of judicial confession:

A judicial confession is when someone admits to committing a crime in court or during a legal proceeding. This can be done orally or in writing. It is different from an extrajudicial confession, which is made outside of court. Confessions can be coerced or voluntary, and if they are obtained through force or threats, they are considered invalid. Confessions must be supported by other evidence to be used in court.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A criminal suspect's oral or written acknowledgment of guilt, often including details about the crime.

Examples:

  • A suspect in a robbery case confesses to the police that they were involved in the crime and provide details about how it was committed. This is a judicial confession.
  • A suspect in a murder case tells their cellmate that they committed the crime. This is an extrajudicial confession.
  • A suspect in a theft case pleads guilty in court. This is also a judicial confession.

These examples illustrate how a judicial confession is a direct admission of guilt made by a suspect in a criminal case. It can be made in court or during a police investigation. It is important to note that a confession must be voluntary and not obtained through coercion or force.

I like that Chicago specifically says don't recite shit from our website
I'm hoping so. I feel like my PS might've been too personal or too whiney. I feel like it either hits or totally whiffs depending on who reads it
UVA loved it, but HLS and Chicago don't seem to love it as much
hey UVA hates me, so the process is fairly random
