Can someone be convicted based solely upon a confession?

yes A person can be arrested based on a confession; getting a conviction is another story. Although it happens often especially if a defendant pleads guilty, juries may want more information to convict than solely on the confession. That's why you need a lawyer.


Do theft and drug charges prevent a criminal justice career?

It is somewhat unlikely, depending on what you want to do. I am a clinical/forensic psychologist and you cannot have a criminal record in my field. I work with many law enforcement officials and I don't think they have records either... A DUI may be acceptable, but other substances and/or theft is another ballgame.

Corpus delecti is proof that a crime has taken place. It literally means body of crime.Added: Corpus delicti is a Latin term meaning "body of the crime".

How long do you have to wait to get a cdl after a DUI conviction if you didnt have a cdl at the time of the conviction?

After you receive a DUI conviction, there'll be a period of time where your licence will be suspended. You'll have to wait until the end of that suspension period before you can get a CDL. However, if three years have not yet passed between your DUI conviction and present, I would advise you wait on it before upgrading your licence. The points alone from the DUI conviction will make it practically impossible for you to get a CDL driving job for the three years following your conviction.

Can an accountant have a criminal record?

This is a response I received from the Wisconsin Department of Regulation and Licensing, the agency that licenses CPA's in Wisconsin. There is never a yes or no answer to the question you posed. When you apply for a license you have to disclose any misdemeanor or felony conviction on the application form. Your application would probably be brought before the Board for its consideration because of the conviction record. A number of factors would be reviewed by the board. They would start by looking at the conviction and the facts surrounding it. Other factors for consideration are: age when you were convicted, how long ago was the conviction, your record since that time, compliance with the terms of the sentence and how related the crime is to the accounting profession. I am sorry there is no real answer until the application process has begun. I suggest you look at the factors I gave above and decide for youself what you think. Also remember that once you take the exam you don't have to take it again. Things can change in the future even if you are denied now. Not exactly the response I was looking for, nor anyone else I would assume.
