Jacksonville Criminal Lawyer: Confessions Do Not Always Mean That a Defendant is Guilty

As a Jacksonville Criminal Lawyer, I have seen many videotaped confessions. I have read more handwritten confessions than I can count. I have heard Jacksonville police officers and detectives testify as to my clients’ confessions on numerous occasions. Many people believe that if a Jacksonville Criminal Defendant confesses to a crime, he must be guilty. This is not true. There are many reasons that a person may confess to a crime that he did not commit. Read an article just posted by the New York Times entitled “Confessing to a Crime, but Innocent” for deeper insight.
