If the "CSI's" had all the evidence they needed to convict you, would you 'fess up?

Question

Or, would you pull a Scott Peterson and never say a word?
On all the CSI type shows they always spill their guts.
I just wondered if folks would do that in real life.

Idiots!
I wasn't commenting on the reality of the show or anything,
I KNOW THE SHOWS ARE FAKE!!!
I was just wondering about what folks would do in that sitch!

Answer 1

I'd fess up and hope for a lighter sentence. You see how well Scott Peterson's choice of defense worked.

Answer 2

Well solid forensic evidence is pretty much indisputable in court
(unless of course you happen to be a famous football player) so I would be a fool in that situation to not just go for the confession and hope I could plea bargain or maybe testify against someone else involved, to get a lighter sentence : )

Answer 3

yes. a confession usually will get you a better sentence. however, CSI is an incredibly unrealistic show. (when was the last time you knew a crime scene investigator who interviewed witnesses, performed detective work, and caught the bad guy? not happening) so much of the stuff on there is not plausible.

Answer 4

in real life, csi's arent that good

just like the lawyers arent that good

just lke the judges arent that good

its tv- -just for entertainment. most real life cops/ crime investigators arent going to collect a sample from the bottom of your neighbors cousins mothers pool like in CSI. nor will they probablly look in your attic unless it smells really bad

Answer 5

I would not confess unless I actually commited the crime.

Answer 6

depends on whether I actually did it :)

Answer 7

Hell No!!!! till the day I die
