Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The suspect is admitting to being in the car, but claiming they did not know it was stolen. This is not a confession because they are not admitting guilt to the crime. It is also not a perpetration because they are not admitting to committing the crime. It is a statement that could still implicate them in the crime, but it is not a clear admission of guilt. Therefore, the best choice is C, an admission. It is not a deposition because that refers to a formal sworn statement given in court or during pre-trial discovery.
