Researchers ironically note that it is often just as difficult to know whether or not someone is telling the truth when they plead against themselves as when they plead for themselves.

Dr S M Kassin and two colleagues from the Department of Psychology at Williams College in Massachusetts report in the April, 2005 Law and Human Behaviour that when college students and police investigators judged 10 prison inmates confessing to crimes (half the confessions were true, half were false as they were concocted for the study), the students were more accurate than the police in determining who told the truth.

-More than 50 people confessed to having committed the famous and still unsolved Black Dahlia murder in Los Angeles in 1947.
-At least six people have confessed to being the Zodiac Killer.
-At last count, 20 individuals have confessed to the 1996 murder of child beauty queen Jon Benet Ramsey.
