    This is a weird one! A guy killed his girlfriend's mother, and then begged God for forgiveness while in his car - not realising that the cops had bugged it. The judge ruled that his prayer counted as a legal confession.

    Might be a precedent. Makes sense to use it as evidence to me.

    Well if he denied the murder after that he's either lying to the state or lying to god...

    Bit cheeky of him to be asking God's help to get away with murder! :confused:
