Testifying a confession
jeudi 30 novembre 2017 à 01:00Argentine activists advocate a law to allow people to testify against their parents. Some want to testify that their fathers confessed to helping murder dissidents during the military dictatorship.
I would like those murderers to be convicted, but should it be possible to convict a person of a crime based on a witness's report that the defendant confessed to per? It seems to me that that would make it easy to frame anyone for any crime: just testify "he confessed to me that he did it."
