I think you should just always err on the side of caution. After all, so long as life actually means life (which unfortunately is not often the case) the public are protected, the perpetrator is punished and the family know he is being punished.

In Timothy Evans case was it ever revealed why he confessed to a murder that he did not commit?

I am fascinated by the phenomena of false confessions because I have a relative who is in prison for child molestation. He supposedly confessed -- I say supposedly because I have never seen a transcript of the confession so I am not sure what he actually said. But I still seriously doubt his guilt.

What brings a man to confess to something that he did not do?
