Meghan is 12 years old. One night she calls 911 to report that she accidentally
shot her father. The police arrive at her home and pronounce her father dead at
the scene. Meghan claims the shooting was accidental. After the police left, in the
days that followed, Meghan made several statements to friends and family
members that indicated the shooting was not accidental and was intentional. Can
these statements be used against Meghan at her trial for the murder of her
father?

Respuesta :

Yes because she claimed that it was an accidental shooting to the police but that it was intentional to her friends and family. Her statements to the police and to her friends/family contradict each other and can be used against Meghan at the trial for the murder of her father.

Yes, these statements can be used against Meghan at her trial for the murder of her father.
