口供 Confession

人的記憶是極不可靠的。	Human memory is extremely unreliable.
一個人連昨天吃過什麼、喝過什麼都記不清楚了，更遙遠的記憶就更不用說了。	A person can remember clearly neither what he ate nor what he drank yesterday. His distant memories can be even unclear.
一群人的相同記憶還是不可靠的，因為人們經常產生人云亦云的集體幻覺。	The same memory of a group of people is still unreliable, because people are often infected with a collective illusion to follow the herd.
因此，以記憶為基礎的口供也是不可靠的，用來作為定罪的根據，實在太危險了。	Therefore, a confession based on memory is also unreliable. It is too dangerous to obtain a conviction according to such an unreliable thing.
我認為，口供的用處就是引導物證的發現，只有物證的特徵與口供的敘述一致，罪證才臻於明確。	In my opinion, a confession shall be only used to guide the discovery of a material evidence. A crime is proved only when the features of a material evidence meet with the content of the confession.
只要缺少物證，被告就應該無罪釋放。	Without a material evidence, the defendant shall be acquitted.
