If your friend is subpoenad by the prosecutor, their testimony regarding your admissions may be admissible against you.
Retain an attorney and confide only with that attorney. Good Luck!

Yes you can. The DA can subpeona your friend into court and the judge can order him to testify. The advice above is sound. Get a good criminal defense attorney who practices in the court where you are charged and don't speak to anyone else about the case. You see what can happen.

it is an exception to the hearsay rule, an admission against penal interest.
