      After reading your posts, I’ve come to the conclusion that you know absolutely nothing about the law or how a case would be tried.

      Please do not listen to this person on any legal matters.

      they have no obligation to reveal any part of it that would indicate your innocence

      So you just don’t understand how the legal system works at all, amigo. What you described is completely false. One of the first phases of any court case is discovery, where the opposing party supplies the evidence that they have to support their case. Not including this type of evidence during discovery could get an attorney disbarred and a court case thrown out entirely.

        To expand on that, the prosecution wouldn’t have an obligation to reveal that evidence to the jury, but they would have an obligation to provide it to the court and/or defense during discovery. And, you know, that seems like something the defense would both use and request if it were missing.

      And which bit of damage did you confess to? They have no evidence of what you confessed to doing.

      What if they removed the word “hit” from the note.

      So it just said “I accidentally your car”

      Then you’re not really admitting to anything.

      Would also probably frustrate the guy even more.
