Confessions, Good for the Soul, Not Your Houston Criminal Defense
Confessing one's sins can help a person feel renewed. However if your charged with a crime, like take for instance, Capital Murder, it might not be a good idea to make that confession in the local newspaper.
Today the Houston Chronicle ran a front page story about the confession of a teenager. It wasn't about Lindsay Lohan in a Disney movie, rather if was the portrayal of an 18 year old charged with Capital Murder for allegedly killing a classmate's mother in a murder for hire killing. A few days ago the Chronicle ran a story of another accused Capital Murderer and his details of why he allegedly bludgeoned the mother of his children to death with a crowbar. A killing he claims was justified.
Memo to those accused of crimes, the Houston Chronicle isn't your friend and will not make things better for you. Read the Sports page, comics or whatever your interest is, but don't do interviews detailing your allegedly illegal acts. It might be a great read for everyone else but it will be detrimental to your defense.
