What point are you making here? Do you think a judge or jury would give both of those instances equal weight?
replyAll other things being equal, why would it matter if a suspect instead of saying something obviously incriminating, had instead said something diametrically opposed? Is that what you are asking?
replyIf so, I'm confused. Why wouldn't it matter? Wouldn't this necessarily only be the case where the Google search doesn't really matter at all (i.e. there is sufficient other incriminating evidence).
Anyway I also think you're missing what was merely meant to be a comment in jest. But now I'm actually confused what point you are trying to make.
Because people are going to lie in their own favor.
replyDo you think that claims of innocence should be given the same weight as confessions of guilt?
I don't think confessions of guilt should be given much weight either. Innocent people confess to crimes all the time.
replyWhat makes a Google search a confession?
replyIf the implication is the Google search is an implicit confession, because in a Google search you think you are not being watched, and thus are confessing your honest desires, why would his search of love be a "claim of innocence" rather than a "confession of love"?
