It is a very rare case when the ONLY evidence of a crime is a confession. If that is truly the only evidence, then no, one cannot be convicted.

There must be some other allegations that led to them questioning you as a suspect and your confession. You need to get a good lawyer that can prove the confession was actually coerced, which isn't as easy as you think.

If you would like to talk about your case please call my Miami office 305.670.3119. We now offer the HOPE program which allows for all people to afford an attorney that will provide hands-on representation.

All My Best,
