Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Declarants (those making the statement) should read and sign the statement without undue delay to ensure accuracy and credibility. A and B are incorrect because the statement should be drafted and worded by the interviewer or investigator, not the confessor. D is incorrect because witnesses are not legally required for signing a statement, although witnesses could be necessary to attest to the validity of the statement or the voluntariness of the confession.
