Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

Re: mental illness/confession

You do not provide enough details to answer your question. You leave too many question marks: Is your son still in custody? What was he actually charged with, if anything? Did he sign a confession? Was he on medication at the time? Was he deprived of medication? Was there any other evidence of burglary besides his confession and the tools you mentioned?

You ask, What now? My advice: now he should fight the charges.

Re: mental illness/confession

Get him an agressive lawyer and fight the charges. A good lawyer may be able to show the court that the confession was coerced.

Good luck.
