Generally speaking, a confession uncorroborated or unsupported by other facts is insufficient to show the corpus delicti of a crime and cannot support a(n) conviction
The concept that there must be some evidence that a crime has been committed before a person may be found guilty of having committed that crime is known by the Latin term corpus delicti. In Western law, the phrase is also frequently used to refer to the thing on which the crime was committed, such as a body in a murder case, which serves as independent evidence.
The question of corpus delicti becomes a little bit trickier when someone confesses to a crime since a confession alone usually isn't enough to convict someone of a crime without strong evidence that the elements of corpus delicti are present.
