Explain the difference between a confession and a admission?

Answer 1

An admission is not the same as a confession.

The act of admitting to something is, any voluntary acknowledgment, statement or

assertion made by a party to a suit or criminal prosecution that certain facts inconsistent with the party's claims are true. An admission may be express, such as a written or verbal statement by a person concerning the truth, or it may be implied by a person's conduct. Admissions are used primarily as a method of discovery, as a pleading device, and as evidence in a trial.

A confession is an acknowledgment of guilt in a criminal case. In criminal law a confession is an admission of guilt by the accused party. It must be freely and voluntarily made after the accused is made aware of his/her rights.
