Contact your son's attorney. A confession or admission of a crime is considered a statement against interest and is admissible in court as it is an exception to the hearsay rule.

Also, if another individual admits to the crime, then that is considered exculpatory evidence and the state has an obligation to pursue it.

Again, contact your son's attorney.
