nor does the article mention this is the child custody case not the criminal case.
Nor does the article mention the function of the admission into evidence. It seems the admission was to line up parentage rather than criminality.
Also why is the state releasing evidence to be used in a PENDING criminal investigation? That only buys a change of venue motion.
You made some good points.
And you show a lack of bias by the last point.
Well worth considering.
