## Definition

A confession is a formal statement made by an individual acknowledging their guilt for a specific crime or offense. It can be given voluntarily or as a result of interrogation, and its validity can be a subject of legal scrutiny, especially if there are concerns about the circumstances under which it was obtained, such as the possibility of coercion or violation of rights.
