What happens when we illegally elicit a confession? How do the fruits of poisonous tree play out in courts?

A false confession is an admission of guilt for a crime for which the person is not responsible. False confessions may be obtained by coercion or mental disorder of the accused. Research shows that false confessions occur regularly in case law, and that is why jurisprudence has established a series of rules to detect, and to refuse, false confessions. In the United States, among the wrongly imprisoned and then released after DNA analysis, 15% to 25% of them had made a false confession.

In legal terms, "fruit of the poisoned tree" is a metaphor used to explain why illegally obtained evidence cannot be presented to the court. Since the method used to obtain the testimony is illegal ("the poisoned tree"), any testimony gathered ("the fruit") cannot be admitted. When it comes to human beings, "the poisoned tree" is the idea that our life experience is produced from our environment or our circumstances, and to believe that the way we see life when it is in a low state of mind, represents reality. But as we live in the experience of our thinking, which varies from one moment to another, and not our circumstances, which can change very slowly or even at all, any conclusion we can make about our lives or the world based on this false premise, no matter how logical it sounds, are "fruits of the poisoned tree" and is just as wrong and inherently.

If you were placed in the moral dilemma of letting a child serial killer go free and you could fabricate a confession or illegally attain one, would you? If you are honest what would happen? The evidence is irrefutable; he is 100% guilty can you live with doing something illegal for the greater good?

A serial killer at a young age is even more dangerous than an adult since he’s inconspicuous. If I’m 100% sure that he’s a killer, I wouldn’t let him roam free and will do everything in my capacity to get the justice served. Law will definitely take its course and underage prisoners are given special treatment. If there would be an iota of good in him, he’ll be groomed through child psychologists during his tenure in prison.
