The defendant saying that they did it doesn't mean that they did. That could be helping the real guilty party get off.
Not just that. I've been convicted of a crime before. If I could plead guilty to something that would get me executed I would. Because at various times I've been suicidal.
Not just that but I plead guilty to charges I wasn't even sure I committed simply out of shame and a lack of self preservation.
It was complicated and I won't get into it but suffice to say: my experience made me realise criminality isn't black and white.
