According to Michigan common law, a defendant’s confession is inadmissible unless the corpus delicti of the offense is established.
If you confessed to committing a crime, it’s important to understand the seriousness a confession has on your criminal defense case. The prosecution will consider this powerful evidence of your guilt.
False Confessions
A false confession is an admission of guilt for a crime which the individual did not commit. Although such confessions seem counterintuitive, they can be made voluntarily, perhaps to protect a third party, or induced through coercive interrogation techniques.
