What is a confession?

  1. A formal complaint by the prosecutor

  2. Evidence presented during a trial

  3. A statement by a person accused of a crime, admitting his guilt

  4. A legal strategy to dismiss charges

The correct answer is: A statement by a person accused of a crime, admitting his guilt

A confession is a statement made by a person who has been accused of a crime, admitting their guilt. It is an admission of responsibility and can be used as evidence in a trial. This is often considered a strong piece of evidence against the accused, as it directly implicates them in the crime. A confession would not be considered a formal complaint by the prosecutor (option A) as they are usually the ones seeking a confession from the accused. It is also not evidence presented during a trial (option B) as it is usually obtained prior to the trial. And while a legal strategy to dismiss charges (option D) may involve a confession, it is not the purpose of a confession and is not always successful in dismissing charges.
