Respuesta

In many legal systems, a confession obtained under duress or without proper legal procedures may not be admissible in court. If Susie was not informed of her rights and was subjected to prolonged questioning without legal representation, the confession could potentially be deemed inadmissible. It is important that any confession is given voluntarily and with full awareness of the legal implications.
