Unfortunately, your parents never taught you to keep your mouth shut in the presence of police officers.
Once you make a statement resembling an admission, we would have to have some decent evidence to support the propisition that your statement was the product of duress or coersion or some other reason. You may want to speak with me, as we can talk on the phone to get more facts, so I can better advise you. 661-267-1313 is one of my telephone numbers that you can call for a free consultation.........David Wallin
You will probably not be able to keep the statement out of evidence. That's very bad news for you. It's a good example of why people who are under suspicion should never talk to the police.
You can try to explain the statement away, but your explanation will have to be awfully good in order to persuade anyone that your initial confession was false.
