    ...including a written confession in the YouTube video description, Sabata writes “I just stole a car and robbed a bank. Now I’m rich, I can pay off my college financial aid and tomorrow i’m going for a shopping spree. Bite me. I love GREENDAY!

    What an imbecile!

    I like Greenday generally. But that song is suspiciously like one by The Kinks. Comparison here.

    So hypothetically if this happened in Ireland, Could the YouTube video and confession be used in evidence?

    I couldn't watch that video for more than a minute, Did she film it on a microwave or something? And why is her writing backwards?

    In reply to unattendedbag:

    Well, there is a confession and a written one at that.

    The confession evidence would be relevant. The only question is whether it would be admissible.

    I think that it would be admissible. Juries get shown videotapes of Garda interviews of accused persons during criminal trials in this country.

    I would say so.

    Of course.

    I know the law of this country comes in for its fair share of criticism but sometimes it seems like there's an assumption that its bollocks :pac:
