This entry describes the impact of confessions on jury verdicts, examines three concerns about the way in which juries evaluate confession evidence, and considers the steps that can be taken to ensure that jurors assess such evidence appropriately.In cases where a confession is disputed, a judge determines the voluntariness and admissibility of the confession during a preliminary hearing.
