Confession as Evidence under Law
According to the Criminal Procedure Law, a confession alone is not sufficient to automatically convict the accused. It must be that the confession is made voluntarily and clearly, without any pressure or torture, and that it is explicit and understood. The court can rely on it only if it is convinced of its truthfulness and integrity, and it may depend on it without hearing witnesses if all the conditions are met. Conversely, a confession recorded in police reports is not considered a judicial evidence unless its conditions are fulfilled. If the accused retracts their confession, the court has the discretion to accept it again if it is satisfied of its validity. However, the confession must not be broken into parts or relied upon solely for the part that incriminates the accused, unless there is other evidence supporting it.
