Confession of guilt by the accused when separating him from questions and actions of a suggestive nature
Abstract
The article deals with the influence of the leading question on the confession. The leading question, however, is not only understood in the traditional sense of the term as a question that contains information that prompts the answer. More broadly, it is a matter that accompanies the use of any information of evidence, the reporting of factual information in various investigative situations. This question leads to a certain answer. Introduction of the concept of “probability-oriented question” allows to differentiate between information and actions of a leading nature.
