Its importance is such that being always cited as the prominent reason in lawsuits. The accuracy and validity of the research has been investigated and there is evidence to confirm it, and may not be relevant to determine the accused guilt through the knowledge and inference of the court and thus, has no value and cannot even have a practice. Confession in this way is a perfect violation of citizenship rights in judicial proceedings. One of the evident examples of criminal justice is the observance of citizenship rights in the courts and the most profound element for respecting citizenship rights, security and freedom in court hearings, more particularly the defendants’ confession. Ensuring the rights of citizens and administering justice in all steps of the trial, including crime detection, prosecution, investigation, trial, punishment or security measures, is one of the basic duties of criminal justice.
