Directions: Choose the term that matches the description.
A voluntary statement made by a person charged with commission of a crime acknowledging his guilt.
- Confession
- Statement
- Acceptance
- Consent
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - Confession
A confession is a statement by a person accused of an offence that admits the offence or substantially all the facts constituting it; to be relevant it must be voluntary. 'Statement' is too general, and 'acceptance' and 'consent' are not the terms used for an admission of guilt.
