How would anyone prove that he was fed the information vs offering it on his own accord, without being led to it? There appear to be a few ways a suspect can be subtly fed info that they may later include in their "confessions". EG: asking leading questions vs open ended ones. Here is an example:If he's confessing things that literally only the killer would know, and he was never fed any of that information in any way or form, then what's the point of wasting money on a trial
LEADING: We know there was a bullet found at the crime scene and it matches your gun! Explain this to me!
2). Three witnesses saw you at the bridge as they were leaving and they said you saw them?
NON-LEADING:
1. Do you own a gun? What can you tell me about it / them? When did you last use it? Where do you typically use it? Have you ever been to X place with it?
2. Did you see anyone else at the trails that day? IF so, what can you tell me about whomever you saw?
NOTE: these are NOT directly from this case, and are only meant as examples of leading vs non leading questions that might encourage a suspect to reply in a particular way.
