As someone who listens to true crime podcasts, there are loads of people who brag to their friends about committing a crime they didn't do.

People literally confess crimes during interrogation that they didn't do. I know of a case we're they worked on someone for 15 hours straight and the poor sod just confessed because he wanted it to be over. Not everyone is a trained spy or psychopath.

A confession should never be the sole evidence of convicting anyone.
