I bow before Qadgop’s knowledge of all things penal. (Wait! That does not sound right!)
I kneel before his penal … (No, that’s certainly not it either.)
I am sure Qadgop is right as always. Thank you. (Perfect.)
I think that it would be madness to believe what a man says in an admission. Why, that would mean that he would know something about what he actually did or did not do. :eek:

The law admits no stronger proof than a confession. That being said, ZM seems to be off his nut. He was unfamiliar with legal proceedings and their consequences. Further, the government’s case rested almost exclusively on the confession.
Finally, false confessions are rare, but not unknown. He could have been bullied into confessing, or (more likely in this case) he could have just been bragging.
