relative confession

Read a random definition: deed

A quick definition of relative confession:

A confession is when someone admits to doing something wrong, like committing a crime. It can be spoken or written. If someone is forced or threatened to confess, it's called a coerced confession. If someone confesses in court, it's called a judicial confession. A relative confession is when someone admits to a crime and accuses someone else of being involved. If the accusation is proven true, the person who confessed is pardoned, but if it's not true, they are convicted. A voluntary confession is when someone admits to a crime without being promised anything in return.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A confession of guilt that also accuses another person of participating in the crime. If the accusation against the other person is proven, the confessing defendant is pardoned. If not, the defendant is convicted based on their confession.

Example: In the case of State v. Willis, a defendant confessed to a crime and also accused another person of being involved. If the other person was found guilty, the defendant would be pardoned. However, if the other person was not found guilty, the defendant would be convicted based on their confession.

This example illustrates how a relative confession involves not only admitting guilt but also implicating another person in the crime. The outcome of the other person's trial determines the fate of the confessing defendant.

Feeling like sad drinking tonight, wife accidentally tossed out my truck keys and those are expensive as fuck to replace. The crappiest part is that the key chain had the "remove before flight" tab from my first aircraft's rocket pods overseas from 6 years ago. Then find out people fucked around and back dated reports at work making me look like a shit bag so I am working later tonight and missing range time which is my weekly relax/me time. Add in my sleep meds stopped working, so I am thinking vodka (so I stay skinny and hot) and pizza by the fireplace kind of friday.
