Yes... because when determining when someone is lying or not, one of the things we consider is their motivation. Generally, confessing to serious crimes is not in one's best interest to lie about, so in most (not all) circumstance, I would tend to believe a freely given confession of guilt. |

Ummmmmm... yeah. I think you're agreeing with me? There is no benefit I can see to him lying, so it wouldn't really make sense for him to lie in this situation. Isn't that what you just said? |

JWeinCom said:
No. That's part of what I said. But you didn't even quote the whole sentence, which makes me seriously question your interest in honest discussion. |
Better now?
